An ideal heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between $127^{\circ} C$ and $27^{\circ} C$. It absorbs $5 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$ of heat at the higher temperature. The amount of heat converted to work is:

  • A
    $4.8 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • B
    $2.4 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • D
    $6 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$

$A$ Carnot engine absorbs $3 \times 10^{6} \text{ cal}$ of heat from a reservoir at $627^{\circ}C$ and rejects it at $27^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is:

$A$ Carnot engine takes $5000 \, kcal$ of heat from a reservoir at $727 \, ^{\circ}C$ and gives heat to a sink at $127 \, ^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is $.......... \times 10^{6} \, J$.

An engine has an efficiency of $1/6$. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,its efficiency is doubled. The temperature of the source is ....... $^{\circ}C$.

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is found to increase from $25 \%$ to $40 \%$ on increasing the temperature $(T_1)$ of the source alone by $100 \ K$. The temperature $(T_2)$ of the sink is given by: (in $K$)

$A$ Carnot engine converts $1/6$th of the heat into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62 \ K$,the efficiency of the engine is doubled. Calculate the temperatures of the source and the sink.
