Two carnot engines A and B are operated ...

Two carnot engines A and B are operated in series. The first one A receives heat at `900K` and rejects it to a reservoir at `T K`. The second engine B receives the heat rejected by the first engine and rejects it to a heat reservoir at `400K`. Calculate the value of `T`, when the efficiency ot two engines is the same.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`600K`
Here, `eta=(1-T/(900))=(1-(400)/T)`
`:. T/(900)=(400)/T or T=sqrt(36xx10^(4))=600K`

Two Camot engines A and B are operated in series. The first one, A , receives heat at T_(1)(=600 K) and rejects to a reservoir at temperature T_(2) . The second engine B receives heat rejected by the first engine and, in turn, rejects to a heat reservoir at T_(3)(=400K). Calculate the temperature T_(2) if the work outputs of the two engines are equal :
