Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Thermal efficiency = work output / heat input
= .38 MW / 1 MW = .38
OR 38%
Heat rejected at cold reservoir = heat input - work output
1 MW - .38 MW
= 0.62 MW.
b ) For reversible power output
efficiency = Tā - Tā / Tā Ā ; Tā is temperature of hot reservoir and Tā is temperature of cold reservoir.
= 1200 - 300 / 1200 = 900 / 1200
= .75
or 75%
rate at which heat is rejected
= 1 - .75 x 1
= .25 MW .
