The change in internal energy during one complete cycle of a heat engine a. equals the net heat flow into the engine. b. equals zero. c. equals the heat energy exhausted from the engine. d. equals the heat energy entering the engine.

B. equals zero

Explanation:

Given data

one complete cycle = heat flow

solution

we have given that when heat engine complete 1 cycle change in energy = net heat flow

that is always equal to zero

from first law of thermodynamics that

ΔU = Q + W

we know ΔU is the change internal energy in system and Q is net heat transfer in system and W is  net work done in system

therefore change of internal energy during one cycle

ΔU = Ufinal -  Uinitial

ΔU  = Uinitial  -  Uinitial  = 0

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.
