Efficiency of a Carnot engine is 50% when temperature of outlet is 500 K. ln order to increase efficiency up to 60% keeping temperature of intake the same what is temperature of outlet?

a
200 K
b
400 K
c
600 K
d
800 K

detailed solution

Correct option is B

η = 1- T2T1  ⇒  12=1-500T1  ⇒ 500T1 = 12-----(i)       60100 = 1-T2'T1 ⇒ T2'T1 = 25----------(ii)Dividing equation (i) by (ii), 500T2' = 54  ⇒ T2 = 400 K
