A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of η = 1 / 10 as a 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 a lower temperature is
Options
- A99   J
- B90   J
- C1   J
- D100   J
Correct answer
B. 90   J
Step-by-step solution
Relation between coefficient of performance and efficiency of refrigerator is β = 1 - η η ∴   β = 1 - 1 10 1 10 = 9 Coefficient of performance, β = Heat   absorbed ( Q 2 ) Work   done   ( W ) ⇒ 9 = Q 2 10 Q 2 = 90   J
