To solve the problem, we need to find the rise in temperature of water when a heat engine delivers mechanical power while being cooled by the water. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Determine the Input Power The efficiency of the heat engine is given as 50%, and the output mechanical power is 5 kW. We can express the relationship between output power, input power, and efficiency as follows: \[ \text{Efficiency} = \frac{\text{Output Power}}{\text{Input Power}} \] ...
