Homework Statement
Rank these engines on the basis of their designed power output and their thermal efficiency.
1) Qin = 3000 J, Qout = 1500 J, f=150 Hz.
2) Qin = 4000 J, Qout = 3000 J, f=50 Hz.
3) Qin = 1000 J, Qout = 200 J, f=200 Hz.
4) Qin = 2000 J, Qout = 500 J, f=50 Hz.
5) Qin = 2000 J, Qout = 1000 J, f=100 Hz.
6) Qin = 1500 J, Qout = 500 J, f=200 Hz.
Homework Equations
P=Work/t, and Work=Qin-Qout
The Attempt at a Solution
I calculated the power output using the above formulas, where t=1/f, but I don't know why my answers are wrong... this is mastering physics question :(
