JEE Main2007PhysicsThermodynamicsActual
A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of =1 / 10 as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10 ~J , the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is
Options
- A99 ~J
- B90 ~J
- C1 ~J
- D100 ~J
Correct answer
B. 90 ~J
Step-by-step solution
aligned W & = Q ₂ ( T ₁ ~T ₂ -1 ) =1- T ₂ ~T ₁ 10 & = Q ₂ ( 10 9 -1 ) 1 10 =1- T ₂ ~T ₁ T ₂ ~T ₁ =1- 1 10 = 9 10 10 & = Q ₂ ( 1 9 ) T ₁ ~T ₂ = 10 9 Q ₂ & =90 ~J aligned
