A Carnot engine whose heat sinks at , has an efficiency of . By how many degrees should the temperature of the source be changed to increase the efficiency by of the original efficiency ?
Options
- AIncreases by
- BIncreases by
- CIncreases by
- DIncreases by
Correct answer
B. Increases by
Step-by-step solution
Efficiency of carnot engine is given by, .
For initial case:
So we can write,
Now for the second case:
After increasing the previous efficiency by 100%, value of efficiency will get doubled.
Therefore,
Increase in temperature required will be,
