It's possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine.

- An ideal gas is confined within a thermally isolated cylinder. It consists of N atoms initially at a pressure of p0. A movable piston seals the right end of the cylinder, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1)A given amount of heat Q is slowly added to the gas, while the piston allows the gas to expand in such a way that the gas's temperature remains constant at T0.

The joints on the machine they were building were powered by pistons. Based on how hot the machine was getting, the student was able to figure out that 2.34 J of thermal energy was produced by every piston every time the piston was fully extended to 0.4064 m. What was the force of friction that the piston experienced during every extension? Assume friction is the only source of thermal energy. Include units in Sl.arrow_forwardThe ingenious Stirling engine is a true heat engine that absorbs heat from an external source. The working substance can be air or any other gas. The engine consists of two cylinders with pistons, one in thermal contact with each reservoir (see Figure 4.7). The pistons are connected to a crankshaft in a complicated way that we'll ignore and let the engineers worry about. Between the two cylinders is a passageway where the gas flows past a regenerator: a temporary heat reservoir, typically made of wire mesh, whose temperature varies gradually from the hot side to the cold side. The heat capacity of the regenerator is very large, so its temperature is affected very little by the gas flowing past. The four steps of the engine's (idealized) cycle are as follows:i. Power stroke. While in the hot cylinder at temperature Th, the gas absorbs heat and expands isothermally, pushing the hot piston outward. The piston in the cold cylinder remains at rest, all the way inward as shown in the…arrow_forward
