A Carnot engine has the same efficiency between 800 K and 500 K . and \(x\gt600 \mathrm{~K}\) and 600 K . The value of ' \(x\) ' is

  1. A 1000 K
  2. B 960 K
  3. C 846 K
  4. D 754 K
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 960 K

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\eta_1=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}=1-\frac{500}{800}=\frac{3}{8} \Rightarrow \eta_2=1-\frac{600}{x}\) \(\therefore \quad \eta_1=\eta_2\) \(\Rightarrow 1-\frac{600}{x}=\frac{3}{8} \Rightarrow \frac{600}{x}=\frac{5}{8}\) \(\therefore x=960 K\)
