QAIPM-2000-Ph-3025: NEET 2000 Physics - Class 11 AIPM-2000-Ph-3025 Solution: The (W/Q) of a Carnot engine is 1/6, now the temperature of…
The (W/Q) of a Carnot engine is 1/6, now the temperature of sink is reduced by , then this ratio becomes twice, therefore the initial temperature of the sink and source are respectively
Multiple Choice Options
- A
- B
- C
- D 97 K, 37 K
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Initially the efficiency of the engine was
1 6 which increases to 1 3 when the sink temperature reduces by 62� C.
_ = 1 6 = 1 _ T 2 T 1 when T 2 = sink temperature
, T 1 = source temperature
_ T 2 = 5 6 T 1
Secondly,
1 3 = 1 _ T 2 _ 62 T 1 = 1 _ T 2 T 1 + 62 T 1
= 1 _ 5 6 + 62 T 1
_ T 1 = 62 _ 6 = 372 K = 372 _ 273 = 99 o C
& T 2 = 5 6 _ 372 = 310 K = 310 _ 273 = 37 o C
