Questions
A carnot engine whose source is at 400 K takes 200 cal of heat and rejects 150 cal to sink. What is the temperature of sink?
detailed solution
Correct option is C
In carnot engine source temperature T1=400 K (given) amount of heat given is Q1=200 cal amount of heat rejected Q2=150 cal temperature of sink is T2=? work done by engine is W=Q1-Q2 =200-150=50cal substitute given values, ⇒W=50 cal efficiency is η=WQ1 substitute values legibly η=50200=14 another equation for efficiency in terms of temperature isη=1-T2T1 substitute η value 1/4 in above eqn14=1−T2400 ⇒T2400=1−14=34 ⇒T2=300 K=temperature of sinkTalk to our academic expert!
