The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the change in the temperature of the sink (T2) that increases the efficiency of the engine from \( \frac{1}{5} \) to \( \frac{1}{4} \). We will use the formula for the efficiency of a Carnot engine. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the temperatures**: - The temperature of the source (T1) is given as \( 327^\circ C \). - Convert T1 to Kelvin: \[ T1 = 327 + 273 = 600 \, K \] 2. **Set up the efficiency equations**: - The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{T2}{T1} \] - For the initial efficiency \( \eta_1 = \frac{1}{5} \): \[ \frac{1}{5} = 1 - \frac{T2}{T1} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{T2}{T1} = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5} \] - Therefore: \[ T2 = \frac{4}{5} T1 = \frac{4}{5} \times 600 = 480 \, K \] 3. **For the new efficiency \( \eta_2 = \frac{1}{4} \)**: - Set up the equation: \[ \frac{1}{4} = 1 - \frac{T2'}{T1} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{T2'}{T1} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] - Therefore: \[ T2' = \frac{3}{4} T1 = \frac{3}{4} \times 600 = 450 \, K \] 4. **Calculate the change in temperature of the sink**: - The change in temperature \( \Delta T \) is given by: \[ \Delta T = T2 - T2' = 480 \, K - 450 \, K = 30 \, K \] Thus, the change in the temperature of the sink is \( 30 \, K \). ### Final Answer: The change in the temperature of the sink is \( 30 \, K \).
