Calculate the work performed by an ideal Carnot engine as a cold brick warms from 150 K to the temperature of the environment, which is 300 K. (Use 300 K as the temperature of the hot reservoir of the engine). The heat capacity of the brick is C

Answer

Work done is 57.9KJ

Explanation

First solve the problem according to work done due to variation in temperature

So W= intergral Cu( 1-Tu/T). at Tu and T

So Given that

C = Heat capacity of the Brick

TEPc= Cold Temperature

TEPh = Hot Temperature

W = C ( TEPh-TEP) - TEPhCln ( TEPh/TEPc)

So

W= (1)-(300-150)-300 (1) ln 2

W= -57.9KJ

kepler used the data from tycho blahe (his mentor) to construct the laws of planetary motion.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
