Carnot’s engine takes in a Thousand Kilo Calories of heat from a reservoir at 8270C  and exhausts heat to a sink at 270C.  How much work does it perform ?

a
2.28  ×  105 cal
b
3.52  ×  105 cal
c
7.28  ×  105 cal
d
5.28  ×  105 cal

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Q1=106cal,  T1=1100k,  T2=300k,  Q2=Q1.T2T1=2.72  ×  105cal. ∴  W= Q1−Q2=7.28  ×  105cal.
