Thermodynamics Question 171

Question: An ideal gas heat engine operates in Carnot cycle between 227°C and 127°C. It absorbs $ 6\times 10^{4} $ cals of heat at higher temperature. Amount of heat converted to work is

[CBSE PMT 2005]

Options:

A) $ 2.4\times 10^{4} $ cal

B) $ 6\times 10^{4} $ cal

C) $ 1.2\times 10^{4} $ cal

D) $ 4.8\times 10^{4} $ cal

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \eta =\frac{T _{1}-T _{2}}{T _{1}}=\frac{W}{Q} $

Therefore $ W=\frac{Q(T _{1}-T _{2})}{T _{1}} $

$ =\frac{6\times 10^{4}[ (227+273)-(273+127) ]}{(227+273)} $

$ =\frac{6\times 10^{4}\times 100}{500} $

$ =1.2\times 10^{4}cal $
