प्रश्न

A steam engine delivers 5.4×10J of work per minute and services 3.6 × 10J of heat per minute from its boiler. What is the efficiency of the engine? How much heat is wasted per minute?

उत्तर १

Work done perminute, output =` 5.4 xx 10^8 J`

Heat absorbed per minute, input = `3.6 xx 10^9 J`

Efficiency, = eta = "output"/"input" = (5.4 xx 10^8)/(3.6 xx 10^9) = 0.15

`%eta = 0.15 xx 100 = 15`

Heat energy wasted /minute

= Heat energy absorbed / minute - Useful work done / minute

`= 3.6 xx 10^9 - 5.4 xx 10^8`

`= (3.6 - 0.54) xx 10^9 = 3.06 xx10^9 J`

उत्तर २

Work done by the steam engine per minute, W = 5.4 × 108 J

Heat supplied from the boiler, H = 3.6 × 109 J

Efficiency of the engine  = `"Output energy"/"Inut energy"`

`:.eta = W/H = (5.4 xx 10^8)/(3.6 xx 10^9) = 0.15`

Hence, the percentage efficiency of the engine is 15 %.

Amount of heat wasted = 3.6 × 109 – 5.4 × 108

= 30.6 × 108 = 3.06 × 109 J

Therefore, the amount of heat wasted per minute is 3.06 × 109 J.
