Thermodynamics - Change in efficiency of an engine
Not what you're looking for?
Thermodynamics: Due to design changes, the efficiency of an engine decreases from 0.23 to 0.42. For the same input heat Qh. These changes increase the work done by the more efficient engine and reduce the amount of heat rejected to the cold reservoir. Find the ratio of heat rejected to the cold reservoir.

Solution Summary
Step by step solution is provided in a clear, easy to understand manner.
Solution Preview
Efficiency of an engine is:
e = W/Qh = Qh- Qc)/Qh = 1 - Qc/Qh
Where, W is the mechanical energy, Qh is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir and Qc is the heat dumped in to the cold reservoir. ...
