In 1 ^ st case, Carnot engine operates between temperatures 300K...

In 1st{1}^{st} case, Carnot engine operates between temperatures 300K300K and 100K100K. In 2nd{2}^{nd} case, as shown in the figure, a combination of two engines is used. The efficiency of this combination (in 2nd{2}^{nd} case) will be :

In 1 ^ st case, Carnot engine operates between temperatures 300K and 100K . In 2 ^ nd case, as shown in the figure, a

Options

  1. Asame as the 1st{1}^{st} case
  2. Balways greater than the 1st{1}^{st} case
  3. Calways less than the 1st{1}^{st} case
  4. Dmay increase or decrease with respect to the 1st{1}^{st} case

Correct answer

A. same as the 1st{1}^{st} case

Step-by-step solution

The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between two temperatures is given by η=1−TLTHη = 1 - \dfrac{{T}_{L}}{{T}_{H}}

For the first case : η=1−100300=23η = 1 - \dfrac{100}{300} = \dfrac{2}{3}

For the second case : ηnet=η1+η2−η1η2{η}_{net} = {η}_{1} + {η}_{2} - {η}_{1}{η}_{2}

η1=1−200300=13{η}_{1} = 1 - \dfrac{200}{300} = \dfrac{1}{3}

η2=1−100200=12{η}_{2} = 1 - \dfrac{100}{200} = \dfrac{1}{2}

ηnet=13+12−16=23{η}_{net} = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{2}{3}

ηη(first case)=η= η(second case)
