If a gasoline engine has an efficiency of 21 percent


Asked by maham237 @ in Physics viewed by 338 People


and losses 780 J to the cooling system and exhaust during each cycle, how much work is done by the engine?

Answered by maham237 @



As we know that efficiency of engine is given as

 efficiency = \frac{W}{Q_i}

also we know that

Q_i - Q_o = W

given that

Q_o = 780 J

efficiency = 21%

now we have

0.21 = \frac{Q_i - Q_o}{Q_i}

0.21 Q_i = Q_i - 780

0.79Q_i = 780

Q_i =987.3J

now we have

W = 987.3 - 780 = 207.3 J
