Is the carnot engine working under an isothermal state doesn't do any useful work ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Efficiency of carnot engine,
`eta=1-T_2/T_1`
For isothermal process `T_1=T_2`
`therefore eta=1-1=0`
Hence, efficiency will be zero. Work is not done.

Show four steps of carnot engine in P-V graph write the equation of each step and obtain the work done by the system. Also obtain the efficiency of a carnot engine.

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of the mechanical work done by the engine in one cycle to the heat absorbed from the high temperature source . eta = (W)/(Q_(1)) = (Q_(1) - Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) Cornot devised an ideal engine which is based on a reversible cycle of four operations in succession: isothermal expansion , adiabatic expansion. isothermal compression and adiabatic compression. For carnot cycle (Q_(1))/(T_(1)) = (Q_(2))/(T_(2)) . Thus eta = (Q_(1) - Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) = (T_(1) - T_(2))/(T_(1)) According to carnot theorem "No irreversible engine can have efficiency greater than carnot reversible engine working between same hot and cold reservoirs". A carnot engine whose low temperature reservoir is at 7^(@)C has an efficiency of 50% . It is desired to increase the efficiency to 70% . By how many degrees should the temperature of the high temperature reservoir be increased?
