Heat engine
Question

A Carnot engine used first an ideal monoatomic gas (γ = 53) and then an ideal diatomic gas (γ = 75) as its working substance. The source and sink temperatures are 4110C and 690C respectively and the engine extracts 1000 J of heat from the source in each cycle. Then

Easy
Solution

η = 1-TLTH= 1-342684= 12

Now η = WQ or 12= W1000 or W = 500 J, Efficiency of carnot engine does not depend upon working substance.
