An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot's cycle between 227^ C and 127^ C . It absorbs 6 10⁴ ~J at high temperature. The amount of heat converted into work is
Options
- A1.6 10⁴ ~J
- B1.2 10⁴ ~J
- C4.8 10⁴ ~J
- D3.5 10⁴ ~J
Correct answer
B. 1.2 10⁴ ~J
Step-by-step solution
Given, T₁=227^ C =227+273=500 ~K T₂=127^ C =127+273=400 ~K Heat input, H_ i =6 10⁴ ~J Efficiency of Carnot engine, aligned &=1- T₂ T₁ &=1- 400 500 = 1 5 aligned Also, efficiency, aligned &= Work output Heat input = W 6 10⁴ W &= 6 10⁴= 1 5 6 10⁴ &=1.2 10⁴ ~J aligned
