An ideal gas is maintained at constant pressure. If the temperature of the gas is increased from 200K to 600K, what happens to the rms speed of the molecules?
(a) It increases by a factor of 3.
(b) It remains the same
(c) It is one-third the original speed
(d) It is 3^(1/2) times the original speed.
An engine absorbs 1.70kJ from a hot reservoir at 277oC and expels 1.20kJ to a cold reservoir at 27oC in each cycle.
(a) what is the engine's efficiency
(b) how much work is done by the engine in each cycle?
(c) what is the power output of the engine if each cycle lasts 0.300s?
A heat engine takes in 360J of energy from a hot reservoir and performs 25.0J of work in each cycle. Calculate:
(a) the efficiency of the engine
(b) the energy expelled to the cold reservoir in each cycle.
Is it possible to construct a heat engine that creates no thermal pollution? Explain.
Give an example of an irreversible process that occurs in nature.
Explain 3 different common examples of natural processes that involve an increase in entropy
An engine does 15.0kJ of work while exhausting 37.0kJ to a cold reservoir. What is the efficiency of the engine?
A gas is at 200K. If we wish to double the rms speed of the molecules of the gas, to what value must we raise its temperature?

On a still -10°C day, an air film coats the inside of a single glazed glass (k= 0.84 Wm^-1 K ^-1) window. The window is 75 cm by 1m has 3mm thick glass . Assume h= 10. The inside temperature is 20°C . Find the rate of thermal energy flow .
