Questions  

In our solar system considering sun and earth as one of the ideal thermodynamic system with sun at 6000 K and earth at 270 C, the efficiency of solar system on the basis of exchange of radiations is 

a
99.55%
b
95%
c
19%
d
30%

detailed solution

Correct option is B

efficiency of heat engine=η=1-T2T1 T1=6000K=temperature of source;T2=27+273=300K=temperature of sink η=T1−T2T1=6000−3006000=57006000 percentage efficiency=57006000X100=95%
