10. A car tire contains 0.0380 m of air at a pressure of 2.20x105 N/m? (about 32 psi). How much more internal energy does this gas have than the same volume has at zero gauge pressure (which is equivalent to normal atmospheric pressure?
12. Steam to drive an old-fashioned steam locomotive is supplied at a constant gauge pressure of 1.75 x 10 N/m? (about 250 psi) to a piston with a 0.200-m radius. (a) By calculating PAV, find the work done by the steam when the piston moves 0.800 m. Note that this is the net work output, since gauge pressure is used. (b) Now find the amount of work by calculating the force exerted times the distance traveled. Is the answer the same as in part (a)?
27. This problem compares the energy output and heat transfer to the environment by two different types of nuclear power stations-one with the normal efficiency of 34.0%, and another with an improved efficiency of 40.0%. Suppose both have the same heat transfer into the engine in one day, 2.501014 J . (a) How much more electrical energy is produced by the more efficient power station? (b) How much less heat transfer occurs to the environment by the more efficient power station? (One type of more efficient nuclear power station, the gas-cooled reactor, has not been reliable
30. (a) What is the hot reservoir temperature of a Carnot engine that has an efficiency of 42.0% and a cold reservoir temperature of 27.0C? (b) What must the hot reservoir temperature be for a real heat engine that achieves 0.700 of the maximum efficiency, but still has an efficiency of 42.0% (and a cold reservoir at 27.0C)? (c) Does your answer imply practical limits to the efficiency of car gasoline engines?
