A Carnot engine works as a refrigerator ...

A Carnot engine works as a refrigerator in between `250K` and `300K`. If it acquires `750` calories form heat source at low temperature, then what is the heat generated at higher temperature (in calories)?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the concept of the Carnot engine and the relationship between the heat absorbed and released by the refrigerator. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the temperatures**: - The high temperature (T1) is given as 300 K. - The low temperature (T2) is given as 250 K. 2. **Understand the Carnot efficiency**: - The efficiency (η) of a Carnot engine can be expressed as: \[ \eta = \frac{T2}{T1 - T2} \] - For a refrigerator, we use the coefficient of performance (COP), which is given by: \[ COP = \frac{Q_{L}}{Q_{H} - Q_{L}} \] - Here, \(Q_{L}\) is the heat absorbed from the low temperature (750 calories), and \(Q_{H}\) is the heat rejected at the high temperature. 3. **Set up the equation**: - We know that: \[ COP = \frac{T2}{T1 - T2} \] - Substituting the values: \[ COP = \frac{250}{300 - 250} = \frac{250}{50} = 5 \] 4. **Relate COP to heat quantities**: - We can express COP in terms of heat: \[ 5 = \frac{750}{Q_{H} - 750} \] 5. **Cross-multiply to solve for \(Q_{H}\)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 5(Q_{H} - 750) = 750 \] - Expanding this: \[ 5Q_{H} - 3750 = 750 \] - Adding 3750 to both sides: \[ 5Q_{H} = 750 + 3750 = 4500 \] 6. **Solve for \(Q_{H}\)**: - Dividing both sides by 5: \[ Q_{H} = \frac{4500}{5} = 900 \text{ calories} \] ### Final Answer: The heat generated at the higher temperature (Q_H) is **900 calories**. ---
