a steam engine work on its vicinity 285 k heat is released with the help of 225 c energy absorbed to the system what is the efficiency of steam engine explain the use of the rest of the energy physic problem

Sagot :

Efficiency= change in Energy/ time or useful work done/ time

The efficiency of steam engine is  26.66 %.

What is Efficiency?

The efficiency is defined as the work done by the engine divided by the heat supplied.

Work done is the difference between the heat supplied and heat rejected.

So, efficiency η = (Qs -Qr) / Qs

Given is the heat supplied Qs = 225 Joules and heat rejected Qr =285 . then the work done is

W = 225 -225 = - 60 Joules

Efficiency η  = 60/225 x 100%

η = 26.66 %

Thus, the efficiency of the steam engine is  26.66 %.
