A Carnot engine operates between a high temperature reservoir at 435 K and a river with water at 280 K. If it absorbs 3700 J of heat each cycle, how much work per cycle does it perform?

The work done by the carnot engine per cycle is 1318.31 J

Explanation:

Given;

high temperature reservoir, Th = 435 k

temperature of river water, Tl = 280 k

heat energy absorbed per cycle, Q = 3700 J

Determine the work done per cycle is calculated as;

Where;

W is the work done

Q is the absolute heat absorbed per cycle

Tl is the temperature of the cold liquid

Th is the temperature of the hot reservoir

Therefore, the carnot engine operating at the given conditions, performs 1318.31 J work per cycle.

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.
