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)?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

` T_(1) = 300 K " " T_(2) = 250K " " Q_(2) = 750 " " Q_(1)=?`
`(Q_(1))/(Q_(2)) = (T_(1))/(T_(2)) " " Q_(1) = (300)/(250) xx 750 = 900 "cal"`

An ideal gas heat engine operates in a carnot cycle between 227^@ C and 127^@ C. It absorbs 6 kcal at the higher temperature. The amount of heat (in kcal) converted into work is equal to _____

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". Efficiency of a carnot's cycle change from (1)/(6) to (1)/(3) when source temperature is raised by 100K . The temperature of the sink is-
