A Carnot's engine operates with source at 127^ C and sink at 27^ C . If the source supplies 40 ~kJ of heat energy, the work done by the engine is
Options
- A30 ~kJ
- B10 ~kJ
- C4 ~kJ
- D1 ~kJ
Correct answer
B. 10 ~kJ
Step-by-step solution
Efficiency =1- T₂ T₁ =1- (273+27) (273+127) =1- 300 400 = 1 4 aligned &= Work done Heat supplied 1 4 &= W 40 W=10 ~kJ aligned
