1.A heat engine is rejecting 200btu/h and 30% efficient, how much power does it use in watts?
2. QH=w+QC and power=energy/time (1kwh=3412btu)
and a power diagram: QC= wasted heat, w=work
QH
l
30%l---->W
l
QC
3. 200btu/h(1kwh/3412btu)(1000w/1kw)=58.6watts (30%)=17.6watts
This value just seems too small??
