A heat engine operates between a cold re...

A heat engine operates between a cold reservoir at tempreture `T_(2)=300 K` and a hot reservior at tempreture `T_(1)`. It takes `200 J` of heat from the hot reservior and delivers `120 J` of heat to the cold reservior in a cycle. What sould be the minimum temperature of the hot reservior ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Work done by the engine in a cycle is `W=200-120 = 80J eta =(W)/(Q) = (80)/(200) = 0.4`
From carnot's Theorem ` 0.4 le 1 - (T_(2))/(T_(1)) = 1 - (300)/(T_(1)) implies (300)/(T_(1)) le 0.6 implies T_(1) ge (300)/(0.6) implies T_(1) ge 500`
