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]
