A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 20 % . The energy is supplied to the engine at the rate of 2 kW . The output power of the engine is
Options
- A300 W
- B400 W
- C500 W
- D600 W
Correct answer
A. 300 W
Step-by-step solution
The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of output power P_ out to input power P_ in , expressed as = P_ out / P_ in . Given = 0.20 and P_ in = 2000 W , rearranging yields P_ out = P_ in = 0.20 2000 = 400 W . Output power: 400 W
