- A typical coal-fired power plant burns 340 metric tons of coal every hour to generate 2.5 × 106 MJ of energy. One metric ton has a mass of 1000 kg and a metric ton of coal has a volume of 1.5 m^3. The heat of combustion is 28 MJ/kg. What is the power plant’s efficiency?arrow_forwardIn performing 154.0 J of work, an engine exhausts 65.0 J of heat. What is the efficiency of the engine? e = 29arrow_forwardIn performing 100.0 J of work, an engine discharges 50.0 J of heat. What is the efficiency of the engine?arrow_forward
- A heat engine extracts 45.0 kJ from the hot reservoir and exhausts 40.0 kJ into the cold reservoir. What are the work done and the efficiency?arrow_forwardAs a gasoline engine is running, the amount of gasoline containing 15,000J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 3,000J of work. The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 2500 K. The waste heat from the engine flows into the air at about 300 K. What is the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures?arrow_forwardA heat engine receives 500 j of heat from its combustion process and loses 391 J through the exhaust and friction. What is it’s efficiency?arrow_forward
