Alternative method: To obtain the maximum possible work output let the heat engine
operating between the two bodies be a (reversible) Carnot engine, whose upper and lower

Problem 4.5
To maximize the produced work, the air in each cylinder should be brought to the
conditions of the environment (i.e., the final state should be described by Tatm, Patm).
To accomplish this, consider the following two step process:

This corresponds to 1.8 $/kW-h, which is rather expensive, given that residential
electricity rates average around 25 cents/kW-h.
Let us redo the problem by treating the process in one-step by choosing the
tank+turbine as the system, in which there is a single net heat interaction and a single net
work interaction. (Since the max, or min, work is a state function, the final result should
not depend upon the path that was taken.)

We can redo the problem in another manner as well. Instead of allowing flow across a
turbine, we can imagine that the gas in the tank is connected to an expander/compressor
in which the gas, treated as a closed system, is allowed to expand or contract until its
final pressure and temperature are equal to that of the surroundings.
Now, the 1st Law for a closed system requires that

(over W) done by the atmosphere, which arises due to the reversible operation of the
process. This difference in the two works again leads to a net production of work for the
process.
Note that in the open system analysis, Watm is accounted for by the Ha term for the
incoming or outgoing stream, which includes the work required for the outgoing stream
to push back the surroundings or the work required for the incoming stream to push itself
into the system.
The idea of removing the work done by the atmosphere to yield the net work that can be
recovered by the expansion/compression is a subtle concept. We can proceed in even
another way that avoids the need to explicitly determine Wnet . For example, let us treat
the system (which is again closed) and the atmosphere as our combined system (which is
also a closed system). All heat interactions are therefore internal, i.e., between the system
and atmosphere only. While the total volume is fixed, there is still work being delivered
to some external agent, so the combined system is not isolated (although adiabatic). So,
U U sys U atm Q W
(where W is equal to Wnet in the previous analysis; in this approach, the work done on or
by the atmosphere, which cannot be recovered, is automatically accounted for)
Now, U atm Qatm Watm

then
Whether we apply an open system, or closed system analysis, the net effect of each
process is the same, where air is taken from some initial state to a final state with the
same conditions as the surroundings. Hence, it is encouraging (though of course expected
if all had been done correctly) that both analyses yield the same result.

We can allow reversible heat transfer between the hot and cold streams via the use of a
Carnot engine (or series of Carnot engines) to generate work. The maximum power that
can be produced will be generated when the two streams are brought to the same final
temperature.
So begin by first determining the maximum power output from the thermal contact (via the
use of a Carnot engine) of the hot and cold streams. A steady-state 1st Law balance and
entropy balance, for complete reversible operation and with the Carnot engine included
within the system, yield the following

This power output can now be used to run a Carnot refrigerator that operates between the
environment at 10oC and the cold water stream entering component B. (While this power
output can be directly dissipated into the cold water stream entering B, a higher rate of
energy transfer into the cold stream will occur through the use of the Carnot engine.)

The electrical heater now only needs to warm the incoming hot stream from 332.2 K to

We can improve the process in the following manner, requiring even less electrical energy
than before. Note that after the hot and cold water streams are brought into thermal contact
via a Carnot engine they achieve a final temperature of 301.9 K. The surroundings,
however, are at a lower temperature of 283.2 K. We can therefore, through the use of
another Carnot engine, lower the temperatures of these two exiting stream to be that of the
environment, generating an even greater work output than before.

The above equation indicates that Tout Th,in . In other words, by bringing the temperatures
of the two streams to that of the surroundings, there is no longer any need for the electrical
heater. But why does W ,heater 0 in this case?
Note that we begin with two streams both at the same temperature of 283.2 K. The
temperature of one stream is raised to 343.2 K, and becomes the hot stream. Eventually,
the hot stream is brought into contact with the cold stream, with the temperatures of both
of these streams being brought back down to 283.2 K. The net effect of the entire process
yields no change in the temperature of the streams. The entropy balance for the entire
process, with complete reversible operation, would indicate no change in the entropy of the
streams so that there is no net heat interaction with the surroundings. (Note that the
surroundings receives heat when the streams at a temperature Tf are cooled down to that
of the surroundings. The surroundings releases heat when the Carnot refrigerator is
operated with component B. The amount absorbed and released, though, are equal in
magnitude). A 1st Law balance, with no change in the enthalpy of the streams, along with
no net heat interactions, indicates that there is no power required for the process.
Of course electrical energy would be required to start-up the process, that is during the
initial transient phase before steady-state is achieved. We also assumed constant flow rates,
so any fluctuations in these flow-rates would change the analysis. Finally, while the above
analysis is based on an idealized reversible operation, we see that at least in principle some
of the energy required by the electrical heater could be supplied by the use of various heat
engines as the two streams come into thermal contact.

In hindsight, the above result is not surprising. First, the compressor is reversible. Second,
gas is removed from A at the same T and P of A and then discharged to B at the same T
and P of B. No temperature and pressure gradients are present when the gas is removed or
discharged into the tanks. In addition, as gas is added/removed from the diathermal tanks,
the heat transfer required to maintain the constant temperature occurs in a reversible
manner in that the temperatures of the surroundings and the tanks are the same. All
processes are reversible and therefore Suniv is identically zero.
Again, we can analyze the entropy change of the universe by considering each tank
separately. The compressor operates in a reversible manner, and so does not contribute to
any possible entropy increase of the universe.

The temperature, however, starts to increase, since beyond this point the rate of energy
removal via the pump is no longer large enough to overcome the rate of temperature
increase due to the air leak and the heating source. Presumably, this temperature increase
cannot continue indefinitely, due to the appearance of terms proportional to T in the
energy balance. Thus, we expect the temperature should start to decrease again, and
eventually reach a steady-state value.
b) Since for a pump the limit of reversible operation corresponds to the minimum work
required, the actual power required, for an efficiency of 80% relative to reversible
operation, will simply be given by

Since we are considering reversible, adiabatic operation, each unit mass of fluid entering
the pump will follow a reversible adiabatic pathway given by
PV constant
where = CP/Cv (= 1.4). Note that each unit mass entering the pump has the same
instantaneous properties of the gas in the tank, or Pt and Vt (which is changing with time).
The pump, however, always discharges to a pressure of Pa = 1.01 bar, which is the same as
the initial pressure of the air in the chamber, Pi. (While the discharge pressure of the pump
is always 1.01 bar, the discharge temperature will not be a constant, since the inlet
temperature is also changing with time.) With the (instantaneous) inlet conditions of the
pump equaling Pt and Vt, the molar volume and pressure of the unit mass operated upon
inside the reversible adiabatic pump will be related as follows
Pt1/ Vt
P1/
Therefore, for a given unit mass entering the pump at Pt (and Vt) and exiting at Pa,

The above relation implies that the power requirement of the pump reaches a maximum
value at some particular value of the tank pressure. Differentiating the above with respect
to Pt and setting the result equal to zero, yields upon rearrangement

Pt Pi 0.31 bar
The maximum power requirement of the pump therefore occurs before the chamber
pressure reaches 0.1 bar. Hence, the minimum vacuum pump power rating should be based
on the actual power requirement for a tank pressure of 0.31 bar. Substituting this particular
value of Pt into the expression for the actual power requirement (for any Pt) indicates that

This value represents the minimum vacuum pump power rating that is required to reduced

lower pressure of 0.1 bar, the power requirement of the pump is 41 W.)
