A carnot engine, having an efficiency of eta=1//10 as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10J, the emount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is

(A): Efficiency of carnot engine increase on reducing the temperature of sink. (R ): The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.

In carnot engine efficiency is 40% at hot reservoir temperature T. For efficiency to be 50%, what will be the temperature of hot reservoir ?

The efficiency of a carnot cycle is 1/6. If on reducing the temperature of the sink by 65^@C , the efficiency becomes 1/3. If final temperature of the sink is N times 65K then .N. is equal to

On tripling the absolute temperature of the source, the efficiency of a Carnot.s heat engine becomes double that of the initial efficiency. Then the initial efficiency of the engine is ________

Two carnot engines A and B are operated in series. The first one A receives heat at 8 K and rejects to a reservoir at temperature TK. The second engine B receives the heat rejected by the first engine and in turn rejects to a heat reservoir at 2K. Calculate the temperature TK when the efficiencies of the two engines are equal.

When the absolute temperature of the source of a Carnot heat engine is increased by 25%, its efficiency increases by 80%. The new efficiency of the engine is
