Work done by a Carnot engine operating between temperatures 127 ° C and 27 ° C is 2 kJ . The amount of heat transferred to the engine by the reservoir is:
Options
- A8   kJ
- B2 . 67   kJ
- C2   kJ
- D4   kJ
Correct answer
A. 8   kJ
Step-by-step solution
The temperatures in Kelvin scales are T 2 = 27   ° C + 273 = 300   K T 1 = 127   ° C + 273 = 400   K The efficiency of the Carnot engine is η = 1 - T 2 T 1 = 1 - 300 400 = 1 4 Using the relation, η = W Q ⇒ 2   kJ Q = 1 4 ⇒ Q = 8   kJ
