An experimeter needs to heat a samall sample to 700 K, but the only availabel oven has a maximum temperature of 500 K. Could experimenter heat the sample to 700 K by using a large lens to concentrate the radiation from the over into the sample ?

A

Yes, if the sample is placed at the focal point of the lens

B

No, because it would violate the lawof conservation of energy.

C

No, becouse it would the second law of thermodynamics

D

Yes, if the areas of the fron of the oven is at least much as the area of the fron of the sample

A room is heated by a radiator that has a constant temperature T (unknown). When the outside temperature is 260 K, the room temperature is 300 K. However, when the outside temperature drops to 240 K, the room temperature is only 290 K. Estimate the radiator temperature T.

The hot reservoir for a Carnot engine has a temperature of 890 K, while the cold reservoir has a temperature of 670 K. The heat input for this engine is 4800 J. The 670 K reservoir also serves as the hot reservoir for a second Carnot engine. This second engine uses the rejected heat of the first engine as input and extracts additional work from it. The rejected heat from the second engine goes into a reservoir that has a temperature of 420 K. Find the total work delivered by the two engines.
