The relation between the reversible and irreversible QL
Answer to Problem 5.1P
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Two engines receive the same heat transfer in (QH). One engine is reversible and other engine is irreversible.
Concept used:
The efficiency of reversible heat engine is more than the efficiency of irreversible heat engine.
Here, W is the work done, QH is the heat transfer in and QL is the heat transfer out.
Calculation:
We know that,
Two engines have same QH, thus
Conclusion:
The heat transfer out in reversible engine is less than the heat transfer out in irreversible engine.

- Two reversible cycles are in series, each process doing the same net work, Wcycle. The first cycle receives energy QH by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at 1000°R and energy Q is reinjected by heat transfer to a reservoir at an intermediate temperature, T.
