2 Heat Engines.Pdf Chapter 11: The 1st Law of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics: the study of processes in which energy is transformed as heat and as work. (“movement of heat”) Recall: Work is done when energy is transferred from one body to another by mechanical means. (Ex: compressing a gas.) Heat is a transfer of energy due to a difference in temperature. (Ex: Heating a gas.) Lets start with what you know… . In this video, what is energy being transferred to the wheel from? . What needed to exist prior to the wheel spinning? . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_TsW kn9hac . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsdpA AZeg34 Heat Engines Defined . A heat engine is any device that changes thermal energy (heat) into mechanical energy (work), such as steam engines and automobile engines. Any device that uses heat to do work. Note: it is easier to produce heat (thermal nrg) from work (rub your hands together) than it is to produce work from thermal nrg. Heat Engine Process Heat is supplied to the engine at relatively high temperatures from a place called the hot reservoir (the hot fuel). Part of the heat input is used to perform work via the working substance of the engine—which is the material w/in the engine that actually does the work. (Ex: gas/air mixture in combustion chamber.) The remainder of the input heat is rejected at a temperature lower than the input temperature to a place called the cold reservoir (or heat sink). (Ex: radiator or exhaust). This is waste heat! Schematic of Heat Engine, Fig. 15.12 . This schematic representation of a heat engine shows the input heat (QH) that originates from the hot reservoir, the work (W) that the engine does, and the heat (QC) that the engine rejects to the cold reservoir. Work is only done when heat is transferred from high temp. to low temp. Figure 15.12 Power plants: one example of a Heat Engine . Power plants use the heat from the burning of coal, oil, gas, or heat from nuclear fission to produce energy that does work by turning electric generators. Waste heat is also produced, sometimes referred to “heat pollution” because it pollutes the environment. Waste heat discharged into waterways increases the temperature of that waterway. Waste heat discharged into air can contribute to weather changes. Efficiency (e) of a Heat Engine . Efficiency = ratio of work the heat engine does to the heat input at high temp. e = (work done) / (Input heat) = W / QH . can multiply this value by 100 to get percent efficiency . The less heat needed to do the work = greater efficiency . An engine that is 100% efficient would have an e value of 1 (or 100%), meaning that QH = W (non-existent) Heat engines must obey Conservation of Energy Law (1st Law of Thermodynamics), so: st . QH = W + QC (1 Law) . W = QH – QC . Substitute into efficiency equation: e=W/QH = (QH – QC)/QH . e = 1 – (QC / QH) . Or e = 1 – (Tc / Th ) . The smaller QC is, the greater the efficiency (less Figure 15.12 heat wasted). Operation of a Heat Engine Slide 11-26 Answer Consider your body as a system. Your body is “burning” energy in food, but staying at a constant temperature. This means that, for your body, A. Q > 0. B. Q = 0. C. Q < 0.

In general, this is called a refrigeration process. Work (W) is used to remove heat (QC) from cold reservoir and deposit heat into hot reservoir (QH) Operation of a Heat Pump Slide 11-29 Refrigerator and Air Conditioner Checking Understanding: Increasing Efficiency of a Heat Pump Which of the following changes would allow your refrigerator to use less energy to run? (1) Increasing the temperature inside the refrigerator; (2) increasing the temperature of the kitchen; (3) decreasing the temperature inside the refrigerator; (4) decreasing the temperature of the kitchen. A. All of the above B. 1 and 4 C. 2 and 3 Slide 11-31 Answer Which of the following changes would allow your refrigerator to use less energy to run? (1) Increasing the temperature inside the refrigerator; (2) increasing the temperature of the kitchen; (3) decreasing the temperature inside the refrigerator; (4) decreasing the temperature of the kitchen. A. All of the above B. 1 and 4 C. 2 and 3 Slide 11-32 The Theoretical Maximum Efficiency of a Heat Engine Note: This equation does not depend on the type of fuel used in the heat engine nor is that important. Slide 11-27 Slide 11-23 Closed system: ΔU = Q + W (Only nrg exchanged) Open system: ΔU = Q + W (but need to take into account the change in internal nrg due to the increase/decrease in the amount of matter) Isolated system: ΔU = Q + W = 0 (since no nrg in any form can leave or enter the system… i.e., ΔU=0.) Refrigeration Process: Energy is conserved in this process: QH = W + QC This process is reversible. The inside of a refrigerator is the cold reservoir, the outside is the hot reservoir. The warm air you feel blowing out of your frig is equal to the heat removed from inside your frig plus the work done in removing it. QH = W + QC The same holds for air conditioner: house=inside of frig, etc. So, is it possible to cool your kitchen by leaving your frig door open (or placing an air conditioning unit on the floor in the middle of the room)? NO! Heat is removed from inside frig and exhausted into kitchen, plus the work to remove this heat is also exhausted… result? Your kitchen gets warmer when you open the frig door! Heat is removed from room by A/C unit, but exhausted back into room, in addition to the work to remove this heat is also exhausted! Doesn’t cool the room; heats it up and wastes electricity!!

(1) Increasing the temperature inside the refrigerator; (2) increasing the temperature of the kitchen; (3) decreasing the temperature inside the refrigerator; (4) decreasing the temperature of the kitchen. A. All of the above B. 1 and 4 C. 2 and 3 Slide 11-32 Refrigeration Cycle… how does a refrigerator or A/C work anyway? 1. Low pressure gas enters compressor where it becomes high pressure, hot gas. 2. The gas goes into condenser coil (behind or under the frig) where heat* is removed (by coil) and cold (high pressure) fluid comes out (gas liquid: releasing heat in process). *Part of this heat is from what was extracted from inside frig. 3. The high pressure fluid goes through an expansion valve which allows the pressure (& temp.) to drop. 4. The low pressure (cold) fluid goes into evaporator coils in frig which turns into a gas as energy is absorbed from inside frig. 5. Back to the compressor… step 1. Refrigeration Cycle Heat Pumps The air conditioner and heat pump do closely related jobs. The air conditioner refrigerates the room and heats up the outdoors, while the heat pump refrigerates the outdoors and heats up the inside room. A heat pump can serve in a dual capacity— equipped w/a switch that converts them from A/C units in summer to heaters in winter… cool! Heat Pumps A heat pump takes heat from QC and with the addition of work, places it in QH. QH = QC + W Heat is removed from inside frig (or outside of house where it’s cold) and exhausted into kitchen (or inside your house), plus the work to remove this heat is also exhausted… result? Your kitchen (inside of house) gets warmer (Remember… opening the frig door causes the kitchen to heat up!) What’s more efficient, a heat pump or conventional electric heating system? A heat pump is very efficient b/c if 1000J is used to do work of moving QC from outside to inside, you get heat totaling QH=QC+W, or QH=QC+1000J inside! Your heat pumps 1000J + the Qc taken from the outdoors! Versus, if you have an electric heater and 1000J of electric nrg is being delivered, then all you get is 1000J of heat, QH.

  • Fuel Cells Versus Heat Engines: a Perspective of Thermodynamic and Production
    Fuel Cells Versus Heat Engines: A Perspective of Thermodynamic and Production Efficiencies Introduction: Fuel Cells are being developed as a powering method which may be able to provide clean and efficient energy conversion from chemicals to work. An analysis of their real efficiencies and productivity vis. a vis. combustion engines is made in this report. The most common mode of transportation currently used is gasoline or diesel engine powered automobiles. These engines are broadly described as internal combustion engines, in that they develop mechanical work by the burning of fossil fuel derivatives and harnessing the resultant energy by allowing the hot combustion product gases to expand against a cylinder. This arrangement allows for the fuel heat release and the expansion work to be performed in the same location. This is in contrast to external combustion engines, in which the fuel heat release is performed separately from the gas expansion that allows for mechanical work generation (an example of such an engine is steam power, where fuel is used to heat a boiler, and the steam then drives a piston). The internal combustion engine has proven to be an affordable and effective means of generating mechanical work from a fuel. However, because the majority of these engines are powered by a hydrocarbon fossil fuel, there has been recent concern both about the continued availability of fossil fuels and the environmental effects caused by the combustion of these fuels. There has been much recent publicity regarding an alternate means of generating work; the hydrogen fuel cell. These fuel cells produce electric potential work through the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, with the reaction product being water.

Determining the mechanical work per revolution from the enclosed area. Principles The cycle of a heat engine is frequently represented as a closed curve in a pV diagram (p: pressure, V: volume). Here the mechanical work taken from the system is given by the en- closed area: W = − ͛ p ⋅ dV (I) The cycle of the hot-air engine is often described in an idealised form as a Stirling cycle (see Fig. 1), i.e., a succession of isochoric heating (a), isothermal expansion (b), isochoric cooling (c) and isothermal compression (d). This description, however, is a rough approximation because the working piston moves sinusoidally and therefore an isochoric change of state cannot be expected. In this experiment, the pV diagram is recorded with the computer-assisted data acquisition system CASSY for comparison with the real behaviour of the hot-air engine. A pressure sensor measures the pressure p in the cylinder and a displacement sensor measures the position s of the working piston, from which the volume V is calculated. The measured values are immediately displayed on the monitor in a pV diagram.

It indicates the maximum efficiency of a heat engine when operating between given temperatures of heat acceptance and heat rejection. The Rankine cycle is also an ideal cycle operating between two temperature limits but it is based on the principle of receiving heat by evaporation and rejecting heat by condensation. The working fluid is water-steam. In steam driven thermal power plants this basic cycle is modified by incorporating superheating and reheating to improve the performance of the turbine. UNESCO – EOLSS The Rankine cycle with its modifications suggests the best efficiency that can be obtained from this two phaseSAMPLE thermodynamic cycle wh enCHAPTERS operating under given temperature limits but its efficiency is less than that of the Carnot cycle since some heat is added at a lower temperature. The efficiency of the Rankine cycle can be improved by regenerative feedwater heating where some steam is taken from the turbine during the expansion process and used to preheat the feedwater before it is evaporated in the boiler.

    Carnot Cycle. Heat Engines. Refrigerators. Physics 3700 Carnot Cycle. Heat Engines. Refrigerators. Relevant sections in text: x4.1, 4.2 Heat Engines A heat engine is any device which, through a cyclic process, absorbs energy via heat from some external source and converts (some of) this energy to work. Many real world \engines" (e.g., automobile engines, steam engines) can be modeled as heat engines. There are some fundamental thermodynamic features and limitations of heat engines which arise irrespective of the details of how the engines work. Here I will briefly examine some of these since they are useful, instructive, and even interesting. The principal piece of information which thermodynamics gives us about this simple | but rather general | model of an engine is a limitation on the possible efficiency of the engine. The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of work performed W to the energy absorbed as heat Qh: W e = : Qh Let me comment on notation and conventions. First of all, note that I use a slightly different symbol for work here. Following standard conventions (including the text's) for discussions of engines (and refrigerators), we deal with the work done by the engine on its environment. So, in the context of heat engines if W > 0 then energy is leaving the thermodynamic system in the form of work. Secondly, the subscript \h" on Qh does not signify \heat", but \hot". The idea here is that in order for energy to flow from the environment into the system the source of that energy must be at a higher temperature than the engine.
