Question 4: An investor claims that a new heat cycle will develop 0.4KW for a heat addition of 32.5KJ/min.
The temperature of heat source is 1990K and that of sink is 850K. Is his claim possible?
In this video, we evaluate the claim of an investor who asserts that a new heat cycle can generate 0.4 kW for a heat addition of 32.5 kJ/min. The heat source is at 1990 K, and the heat sink is at 850 K. We will determine whether this claim is possible by using thermodynamic principles and efficiency calculations.
Given data:
Power output: 0.4 kW
Heat addition: 32.5 kJ/min
Source temperature: 1990 K
Sink temperature: 850 K
We will apply the Carnot efficiency formula to check if the proposed power output is realistic based on the heat cycle conditions.
In this video, we assess the feasibility of an investor's claim regarding a heat cycle that supposedly generates 0.4 kW of power with a heat addition of 32.5 kJ/min. Using the Carnot efficiency equation, we explore whether the given source and sink temperatures of 1990 K and 850 K, respectively, support the claim. We walk through the efficiency calculations step by step, comparing the theoretical maximum efficiency with the proposed output. Join us to find out if the claim holds true or if it's beyond thermodynamic limitations.
