AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding Carnot efficiency and its implications for process feasibility. The user calculates efficiency using the formula 1 - Tlow/T high, resulting in 5/6, and compares it to the Carnot efficiency of 0.5 derived from work and heat input. Questions arise about the significance of Carnot efficiency and whether any process can exceed it. The importance of Carnot efficiency lies in its role as a theoretical maximum for efficiency in heat engines. Ultimately, the feasibility of the process is assessed based on these efficiency metrics.

Hi

Can please give me the idea for solving these questions

Physics news on Phys.org
I have efficiency = 1 - Tlow /T high





so 1 - 200/1200


efficiency = 5/6

Carnot efficiency = w/Qh

20/40 = 0.5

then what the next ?
 
Why is the Carnot efficiency important? Can a given process have a greater efficiency than the Carnot value?
 
hi

I don't no the important but I can not the efficiency greater than the Carnot value
 
So, based on the Carnot efficiency of the process, and the efficiency determined by the heat input and work output, is the process feasible?

BTW, if you read the wiki article, it tells you why the Carnot efficiency is important.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'

Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
