    Information: Work Out Heat in - Heat Out

    The document discusses heat engines and the laws of thermodynamics. It defines a heat engine as a device that uses heat from a source to perform work. The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy equals heat absorbed minus work done. The second law states that not all heat can be converted to work, with some heat rejected. For an engine operating in a cycle, work output equals heat input minus heat rejected. No engine can be 100% efficient because some heat must be discarded as waste according to the second law.

    Information

    Heat engine is a device that uses heat to do work. It uses heat transfer as the source of energy for doing work. The
    essential problem is how much of the heat taken in can be converted into work.
    2. The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in the internal energy is equal to the heat absorbed by the
    gas minus the work done by the gas. The second law of thermodynamics states that not all of the heat can be
    converted into work, rather it is rejected.
    3. For an engine operating in a cycle, the first law requires the following:
    Work out = heat in – heat out
    The second law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to make the heat out because we know that not all the
    heat energy can be converted into work, some must be discarded. This discarded heat is known as thermal waste.
    This is why no engine can be 100% efficient.

    Sample Problem
    A heat engine absorbs 8,500 J of energy during the operation from a heat source. It performs work, and discards
    4,800 J of heat to a cold reservoir. Find the following:
    a. how much work is performed
    b. the engine’s efficiency
    c. change in internal energy of this engine
    Problem Solution
    Given: Qin=8,500 J Qout= 4,800 J
    A: Wkout= Qin -Qout
    = 8,500 J – 4,800 J
    = 3, 700 J
    B: Eff= Wkout X100%
    Wkin
    = 3,700 J X100

    8,500 J
    = 43.53%
    C: Change of Internal Energy is 0 since the change in internal energy for an engine operating in a cycle is zero.
