An engine has an efficiency of . When the temperature of sink is reduced by , its efficiency is doubled. Temperatures of the source is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Efficiency of an engine, (\quad \eta=1-T_1temperature of the source and is the temperature of the sink.
(\therefore \quad\frac{1}{6}=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1} \quad\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{5}{6}
(\therefore \quad 2 \frac{1}{6}=1-
or, (\frac{\left(T_2-62\right)}{T_1}\frac{2}{3}=\frac{T_2-62}{T_1} or,
or, (2 T_1=3 \left[\frac{5}{6}\right]T_1-186 \quad) [using (i)]
(\therefore \quad \left[\frac{5}{2}-2\right] T_1=186 \quad) or, (\quad \mathrm{~K}=99^{{}^{\circ}} \mathrm{C}.
