    Finding the efficiency of an engine given energy input, energy wasted.

    Homework Statement An inventor claims to have developed an engine which takes in 1.1x108J of heat energy at 400K, and rejects 5.0x107J of heat energy at 200K. Would you advise investing in this project? Explain your answer. Homework Equations W = Q1 – Q2 η = W/Q1 = 1 – Q2/Q1 The...
