QUESTION 3 (The Carnot engine) A reversible heat engine receives heat from a reservoir which is at a temperature of 600?C and then rejects it to another at 0?C. The heat supplied is 2000kJ. Determine the following: 3.1. The thermal efficiency of the engine. 3.2. The work produced by the engine. 3.3. The heat rejected. [9] QUESTION 4 (Thermodynamic relationships) A tank of a water heater has V=0.1m3 and is initially sealed and full of water at T=328K and P=0.1MPa. The water heater is designed to maintain the water at this temperature, but due to a fault in the temperature sensor, the heating element comes on and remains on. The temperature of the water increases, but there is no space into 2 which the water can expand. The tank has a pressure relief value that is designed to open at P=1MPa. At what water temperature will this occur? Assume the isothermal compressibility and coefficient of thermal expansion of water are constant at ?V?=2.90×10?4K?1 and KT?=4.50×10?10Pa?1 [5]
