Lost Work using Ideal and Actual Work Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lost Work = Actual Work Done in Thermodynamic Process-Ideal Work
W_lost = W_Actual-W_ideal
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Lost Work - (Measured in Joule) - Lost Work is defined as the work lost in the process by the actual work to the ideal work.
Actual Work Done in Thermodynamic Process - (Measured in Joule) - Actual Work Done in Thermodynamic Process is defined as the work done by the system or on the system considering all conditions.
Ideal Work - (Measured in Joule) - Ideal Work is defined as the maximum work obtained when the processes are mechanically reversible.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Work Done in Thermodynamic Process: 210 Joule --> 210 Joule No Conversion Required
Ideal Work: 105 Joule --> 105 Joule No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_lost = W_Actual-W_ideal --> 210-105

Evaluating ... ...

W_lost = 105

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

105 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

105 Joule <-- Lost Work

Lost Work using Ideal and Actual Work Formula

LaTeX Go

Lost Work = Actual Work Done in Thermodynamic Process-Ideal Work
W_lost = W_Actual-W_ideal

Define Lost Work.

Work that is wasted as the result of irreversibilities in a process is called lost work and is defined as the difference between the actual work of a change of state and the ideal work for the same change of state. If the process were reversible, we would not have needed any extra work to do this. Lost work represents a quantity of work that is now unavailable because of irreversibility.

What is Thermodynamics?

Thermodynamics, science of the relationship between heat, work, temperature, and energy. In broad terms, thermodynamics deals with the transfer of energy from one place to another and from one form to another. The key concept is that heat is a form of energy corresponding to a definite amount of mechanical work.
