Questions
Two ideal Carnot engines operate in cascade(all heat given up by one engine is used by the other engine to produce work) between temperatures, and . The temperature of the hot reservoir of the first engine is and the temperature of the cold reservoir of the second engine is . is temperature of the sink of first engine which is also the source for the second engine. How is related to and , if both the engines perform equal amount of work?
detailed solution
Correct option is B
QH: Heat input to 1st engineQ : Heat rejected from 1st engineQL: Heat rejected from IInd engine η=1-TsinkT source---(1)η=WQ1=Qabsorbed-QrejectedQabsorbed=1-QrejectedQabsorbed---(2)equation(1) =Equation(2) TsinkTsource=QrejectedQabsorbedAs per first engine, QQH =TT1 ⇒QH=QT1TAs per second engine, QLQ=T2T ⇒QL=QT2TNow, work done by 1st engine = work done by 2nd engine⇒QH−Q=Q−QL ⇒2Q=QH+QL ⇒ 2=T1T+T2T ⇒T = T1+T22Talk to our academic expert!
