Consider a heat engine as shown in figure. `Q_(1)and Q_(2)` are heat added both to `T_(1)` and heat taken from `T_(2)` in one cycle of engine. W is the mechanical work done on the engine.

If `Wgt0`, then possibilities are

A

`Q_(1)gtQ_(2)gt0`

B

`Q_(2)gtQ_(1)gt0`

C

`Q_(2)ltQ_(1)lt0`

D

`Q_(1)lt0, Q_(2)gt0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
Consider the figure we can write `Q_(1)=W+Q_(2)`
`rArr" "W=Q_(1)-Q_(2)gt0 " "("By question")`
`rArr" "Q_(1)gtQ_(2)gt0" "("If both "Q_(1)andQ_(2)" are positive")` ltBrgt We can also, write `Q_(2)ltQ_(1)lt0 ("If both "Q_(1)andQ_(2)" are negative")`.

Consider a heat engine as shown in (figure). Q_(1) and Q_(2) are heat added to heat bath T_(1) and heat taken from T_(2) one cycle of engine. W is the mechanical work done on the engine. If Wgt0 , then possibillities are:

A carnot engine takes in 1000 K cal of heat from a reservoir at 627^(@)C and exhausts heat to sink at 27^(@)C . What is its efficiency? What is useful work done//cycle by the engine.

The efficiency of carnot's heat engine is 0.5 when the temperature of the source is T_(1) and that of sink is T_(2) .The efficiency of another carnot's heat engine is also 0.5.the temperature of source and sink of the second engine are respecitvely

An ideal gas is taken through the cycle AtoBtoCtoA, as shown in the figure, If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is 5J, the work done by the gas in the process CtoA is

The heat absorbed by a carnot engine from the source in each cycle is 500 J and the efficiency of the engine is 20%. Calculate the work done in each cycle ?

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 :

A cycle followed by an engine (made of one mole of perfect gas in a cylinder with a piston) is shown in figure.
