In Carnot engine efficiency is 40%40 \% at hot reservoir temperature TT. For efficiency 50%50 \%, what will be temperature of hot reservoir?

Options

  1. AT5\frac{T}{5}
  2. B2T5\frac{2 T}{5}
  3. C6T6 T
  4. D6T5\frac{6 T}{5}

Correct answer

D. 6T5\frac{6 T}{5}

Step-by-step solution

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of work done to the heat supplied, ie, η= Work done  Heat input =WQ\eta=\frac{\text{ Work done }}{\text{ Heat input }}=\frac{W}{Q} or η=1−T2T1\quad \eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1} where T2T_2 is temperature of sink, and T1T_1 is temperature of hot reservoir ∴40100=1−T2T1⇒T2T1=0.6⇒T1=0.6T1\therefore \quad \frac{40}{100}=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1} \Rightarrow \quad \frac{T_2}{T_1}=0.6 \Rightarrow \quad T_1=0.6 T_1 Again, 50100=1−T2T1′′⇒T2T1′=0.5\quad \frac{50}{100}=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1^{\prime \prime}} \Rightarrow \quad \frac{T_2}{T_1{ }^{\prime}}=0.5⇒0.6T1T1′=0.5∴T1′=0.60.5T1=65T\begin{array}{ll}\Rightarrow & \frac{0.6 T_1}{T_1{ }^{\prime}}=0.5 \\ \therefore & T_1{ }^{\prime}=\frac{0.6}{0.5} T_1=\frac{6}{5} T\end{array}$$
