Topic: HEAT ENGINES AND THERMAL EFFICIENCY

MELC: Explain how heat transfer Learning Objectives:

and energy transformation make Demonstrate the four-cycle stroke of a gasoline engine.
heat engines work Verify that machines are not 100% efficient.
Solve problems about work, heat, and energy.

PERFORMANCE TASK 2
Objective: The learners should be able to verify that machines are not 100% efficient.
Material: Calculator
Procedure:
1. Study the table below.
2. Using the equation learned and with the aid of the calculator, solve for the unknown quantity.
3. Supply the table with the final answer obtained from the computation to show the relationship between
thermal efficiency, the temperature in a hot reservoir, and the temperature in a cold pool.

Temperature/energy Temperature/energy Thermal efficiency (%)

in cold reservoir in hot reservoir

650 K 1080 K 60

56 J 92 J 60

230 K 750 K 30

150 J 850 J 18

Guide Questions:
1. What are the factors of thermal efficiency?
- The thermal efficiency expresses the fraction of heat that becomes useful work. The thermal
efficiency is represented by the symbol ηη, and can be calculated using the equation:
η=W/QH
