The thermal efficiency of a heat engine is 25%. If in one cycle the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir is 50000 J, what is the heat rejected to the cold reservoir in one cycle ? |

Answer» Data : η = 25% = 0.25, QH = 50000 J W η = \(\frac{W}{Q_H}\) ∴ W = ηQH = (0.25)(50000)J = 12500J Now, W = QH – |QC| ∴ |QC| = QH – W = (50000 – 12500) J = 37500J This is the heat rejected to the cold reservoir in one cycle. [Notes : QC = – 37500 J] |
