    Carnot engine rejected heat problem

    so what does this mean? what do i do with the conservation of energy?

    Heat Q flows spontaneously from a reservoir at 383 K into a reservoir

    well i understand but my teacher is really smart. and the way webassign works is that is has a huge databank of questions released from my textbook publisher and it picks questions randomly. so my teacher hasn't even seen all the questions so once in a while a tough one appears such as this one...

    Heat Q flows spontaneously from a reservoir at 383 K into a reservoir

    i should just give up because this problem is so ridiculous, not even my awesome physics teacher can solve it after i spent 45 minutes with him on it.

    Heat Q flows spontaneously from a reservoir at 383 K into a reservoir

    so i should just give up and fail

    Two thermally insulated tanks, calculating final temperature and final pressure

    and what variables do i plug in?

    Two thermally insulated tanks, calculating final temperature and final pressure

    can u write an equation for me so i can visualize this better

    Rate of heat loss ramining constant

    so can i just say that the rate of heat loss should not have been constant.

    Rate of heat loss ramining constant

    so does being proportional mean that the heat loss is constant. i really have no idea how I am going to explain this.

    Rate of heat loss ramining constant

    well my teacher wants me to explain my answer using Newton's law of thermodynamics. Newton's law of cooling, states that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings. The law is given as the differential equation...

    thanks

    Heat Q flows spontaneously from a reservoir at 383 K into a reservoir

    i did 234/.3=780 and got the wrong answer.

    Heat Q flows spontaneously from a reservoir at 383 K into a reservoir

    then what is the number 383 K for?

    Rate of heat loss ramining constant

    could i say at The rate of heat loss cannot be constant because the relationship is not linear but rather exponential.
  14. C

    Rate of heat loss ramining constant

    what does that mean ?

    Heat Q flows spontaneously from a reservoir at 383 K into a reservoir

    alright i think i almost got this. so the T i am trying to solve for is equal to Tc/.3
