A reversible heat engine, operating in a cycle, withdraws thermal energy from a high-temperature reservoir (the temperature of which consequently decreases), performs work w, and rejects thermal energy into a low-temperature reservoir (the temperature of which consequently increases). The two reservoirs are, initially, at the temperatures T1 and T2 and have constant heat capacities C1 and C2, respectively. Calculate the final temperature of the system and the maximum amount of work which can be obtained from the engine.

The final temperature is $\left(T_1^{C_1}+T_2^{C_2}\right)^{\frac {1}{C_1+C_2}}$

and the maximum amount of workdone is $C_1T_1 + C_2T_2-(C_1+C_2)\left(T_1^{C_1}+T_2^{C_2}\right)^{\frac {1}{C_1+C_2}}$ .

Explanation:

Assume that R_1 is the reservior having temperature T_1 K and heat capicity $C_1 \frac JK$ and R_2 is the reservior having temperature T_2 and heat capicity $C_2 \frac JK$ .

The work will be extracted till that both the reservior reach the thermal equilibrium. Let the final temperature of both the reservior is T_f .

Let total Q_1 heat is extracted by the heat engine from the reservior R_1 and its temperature decreases from T_1 to T_f and Q_2 heat is rejected by the heat engine to the reservior R_2 and its temperature decreases from T_2 to T_f .

So, The maximum amount of work done,

$w= Q_1 - Q_2\; \cdots (i)$

Now, as the heat engine is reversible, so change is entropy for the universe is 0, which means sum of change in entropy for the ststem as well as surrounding is 0.

As shown in figure, the system is the reversible engine, so, change is entropy for the system is 0. Hence, change in entropy for the the surrounding is 0.

As temperature of R_1 is changing fron T_1 to T_f , so, change in entropy of surrounding due to transfer of Q_1 is $C_1 \ln \frac {T_f}{T_1}$ .

Similarly, change in entropy of surrounding due to transfer of Q_2 is $C_2 \ln \frac {T_f}{T_2}$ .

As the net change in entropy of the surrounding is 0.

$\Rightarrow C_1 \ln \frac {T_f}{T_1}+C_2 \ln \frac {T_f}{T_2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \ln \left( \frac {T_f}{T_1} \right)^{C_1}+ \ln \left( \frac {T_f}{T_2}\right)^{C_2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \ln \left(\frac {T_f}{T_1}\right)^{C_1}=- \ln \left( \frac {T_f}{T_2}\right)^{C_2}$

$\Rightarrow \ln \left(\frac {T_f}{T_1}\right)^{C_1}= \ln \left( \frac {T_2}{T_f}\right)^{C_2}$

$\Rightarrow \left( \frac {T_f}{T_1}\right)^{C_1}=\left( \frac {T_2}{T_f}\right)^{C_2}$ [taking anti-log both the sides]

$\Rightarrow T_f^{(C_1 +C_2)}=T_1^{C_1}+T_2^{C_2}$

$\Rightarrow T_f=\left(T_1^{C_1}+T_2^{C_2}\right)^{\frac {1}{C_1+C_2}}\; \cdots (ii)$

This is the required final temperature.

Now, from equarion (i), the maximum amount of work done is

w= Q_1 - Q_2

As $Q=C\Delta T$

$\Rightarrow w=C_1(T_1-T_f)-C_2(T_f-T_2)$

$\Rightarrow w=C_1T_1 + C_2T_2-(C_1+C_2)T_f$

From equation (ii) ,

$w=C_1T_1 + C_2T_2-(C_1+C_2)\left(T_1^{C_1}+T_2^{C_2}\right)^{\frac {1}{C_1+C_2}}$

This is the required maximum workdone.

answer

procedural programming, object-oriented programming

explanation

procedural programming is a type of computer programming language that specifies a series of well structured steps and procedures within its development period of time. it contains a systematic order of statements, functions and commands to complete a computational task or program. it is centered on creating procedures. while object oriented programming is a programming language that is centered on creating objects rather that actions and data rather than logic.. it has four principles which are inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
