The thermal efficiency (in %) of a system that undergoes a power cycle while receiving 1000 kJ of energy by heat transfer from a hot reservoir at 1000 K and discharging 500 kJ of energy by heat transfer to a cold reservoir at 400 K is:

Answer:

η = 0.5 = 50%

Explanation:

The efficiency of the power cycle is given by the following formula:

[tex]\eta = \frac{W}{Q_1}\\\\\eta = \frac{Q_1-Q_2}{Q_1}[/tex]

where,

where,

η = efficiency = ?

Q₁ = heat received from hot reservoir = 1000 KJ

Q₂ = heat discharged to cold reservoir = 500 KJ

Therefore,

[tex]\eta = \frac{1000\ KJ-500\ KJ}{1000\ KJ}[/tex]

η = 0.5 = 50%
