Question
The heat supplied is 500 J.
The heat loss to the environment is 160 J.
Step 2
Calculation:
Write the expression for the work output from the
W=Q1-Q2
Here, W is the useful workout, Q1 is the supplied heat, and Q2 is the heat loss.
Substitute, all known values in the above expression.
W=400 J-160 J=240 J
Thus, the useful work is 240 J.
What is the efficiency of the heat engine in the preceding problem at top?
a) 32%
b) 54%
c) 68%.
d) 75%
e) 175%

This is the amount of energy released as heat during combustion. (Note: 1.0 kWh = 3600 kW-sec = 3600 kJ = 3.6 MJ. Verify this equivalency and use it to answer the following question.) a. Suppose that during the winter, heating your home with oil may require an average of 6 gallons of oil per day. Assuming that to be the case, what is the average daily energy consumption? (Express your answer in kWh.) b. If the cost of heating oil is $3.00/gallon, what is the daily cost to heat your home?
