In a steam turbine of a modern power plant, expanding steam does work by spinning the turbine. The steam is then condensed to liquid water and pumped back to the boiler to start the process again. First heat is transferred to the water in the boiler to create steam, and later heat is transferred out of the water to an external cold reservoir, in the condenser. This steam generator is an example of a heat engine. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 19-33 Heat Engine Energy Transfer Diagram Eint = 0 for the entire cycle A heat engine is a device that takes in energy by heat and, operating in a cyclic process, expels a fraction of that energy by means of work A heat engine carries some working substance through a cyclical process The working substance absorbs energy by heat from a high temperature energy reservoir (Qh) Work is done by the engine (Weng) Energy is expelled as heat to a lower temperature reservoir (Qc) Thermal Efficiency of a Heat Engine Eint = 0 for the entire cycle WQQe n g hc Thermal efficiency is defined as the ratio of the net work done by the engine during one cycle to the energy input at the higher temperature W QQQ e eng h c 1 c QQQh h h What’s the efficiency of our engine?

Slide 19-57 Heat Pumps and Refrigerators Heat engines can run in reverse This is not a natural direction of energy transfer Must put some energy into a device to do this Devices that do this are called heat pumps or refrigerators energy transferred at high temp Q COP = h heating work done by heat pump W energy transferred at low temp Q COP = C cooling work done by heat pump W Refrigerators . In a sense, a refrigerator or air conditioner is the opposite of a heat engine. In a heat engine, heat energy flows from a hot reservoir to a cool reservoir, and work Wout is produced. In a refrigerator, heat energy is somehow forced to flow from a cool reservoir to a hot reservoir, but it requires work Win to make this happen. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 19-41 Heat Pumps Coefficient of Performance The effectiveness of a heat pump is described by a number called the coefficient of performance (COP) In heating mode, the COP is the ratio of the heat transferred in to the work required energy transferred at high temp Q COP = h work done by heat pump W A heat pump, is essentially an air conditioner installed backward. It extracts energy from colder air outside and deposits it in a warmer room. Suppose that the ratio of the actual energy entering the room to the work done by the device’s motor is 10.0% of the theoretical maximum ratio. Determine the energy entering the room per joule of work done by the motor, given that the inside temperature is 20.0°C and the outside temperature is –5.00°C.

Refrigerators Refrigerators • Understanding a refrigerator is a little harder than understanding a heat engine. • Heat is always transferred from a hotter object to a colder object. • The gas in a refrigerator can extract heat QC from the cold reservoir only if the gas temperature is lower than the cold-reservoir temperature TC. Heat energy is then transferred from the cold reservoir into the colder gas. • The gas in a refrigerator can exhaust heat QH to the hot reservoir only if the gas temperature is higher than the hot-reservoir temperature TH. Heat energy is then transferred from the warmer gas into the hot reservoir. Refrigerators . Shown is the energy- transfer diagram of a refrigerator. All state variables (pressure, temperature, thermal energy, etc.) return to their initial values once every cycle. The heat exhausted per cycle by a refrigerator is: QH = QC +Win © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 19-42 Refrigerators . The purpose of a refrigerator is to remove heat from a cold reservoir, and it requires work input to do this. We define the coefficient of performance K of a refrigerator to be: . If a “perfect refrigerator” could be built in which Win = 0, then heat would move spontaneously from cold to hot. This is expressly forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics: © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 19-43 QuickCheck 19.6 The coefficient of performance of this refrigerator is A. 0.40. B. 0.60.

The cycle involves adiabatic compression (1-2), isobaric heating during combustion (2-3), adiabatic expansion which does work (3-4), and isobaric cooling (4-1). The efficiency is: © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 19-58 Otto Cycle The Otto cycle approximates the processes occurring in an internal combustion engine If the air-fuel mixture is assumed to be an ideal gas, then the efficiency of the Otto cycle is 1 e 1 1 VV12 is the ratio of the molar specific heats V1 / V2 is called the compression ratio Typical values: Compression ratio of 8 = 1.4 e = 56% Efficiencies of real engines are 15% to 20% Mainly due to friction, energy transfer by conduction, incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture 2nd Law: Perfect Heat Engine Can NOT exist! No energy is expelled to the cold reservoir It takes in some amount of energy and does an equal amount of work e = 100% It is an impossible engine No Free Lunch! Limit of efficiency is a Carnot Engine 2nd Law: Carnot’s Theorem No real heat engine operating between two energy reservoirs can be more efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same two reservoirs All real engines are less efficient than a Carnot engine because they do not operate through a 1796 – 1832 reversible cycle French engineer The efficiency of a real engine is further reduced by friction, energy losses through conduction, etc. The Limits of Efficiency Everyone knows that heat can produce motion. That it possesses vast motive power no one can doubt, in these days when the steam engine is everywhere so well known. Notwithstanding the satisfactory condition to which they have been brought today, their theory is very little understood.
