The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating with a hot reservoir kept at a temperature of 1000 K is 0.4. It extracts 150 J of heat per cycle from the hot reservoir. The work extracted from this engine is being fully used to run a heat pump which has a coefficient of performance 10 . The hot reservoir of the heat pump is at a temperature of 300 K . Which of the following statements is/are correct:

  1. A Work extracted from the Carnot engine in one cycle is 60 J .
  2. B Temperature of the cold reservoir of the Carnot engine is 600 K .
  3. C Temperature of the cold reservoir of the heat pump is 270 K .
  4. D Heat supplied to the hot reservoir of the heat pump in one cycle is 540 J .
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Work extracted from the Carnot engine in one cycle is 60 J .

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\begin{aligned} & \eta=0.4 \\ & (\mathrm{COP})_{\mathrm{HP}}=10 \\ & \mathrm{~W}=\eta \times \mathrm{Q}_1=0.4 \times 150=60 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \mathrm{COP}=\frac{\text { Dissered Effect }}{\text { Work input }} \\ & 10=\frac{\mathrm{Q}_3}{\mathrm{~W}} \\ & \mathrm{Q}_3=600 \mathrm{~J} \\ & \text { Also } \\ & \eta=0.4=1-\frac{\mathrm{T}_2}{\mathrm{~T}_1} \\ & \mathrm{~T}_2=600 \mathrm{~K} \\ & \mathrm{COP}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_3}{\mathrm{~T}_3-\mathrm{T}_4}=10\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{300}{300-\mathrm{T}_4}=10 \\ & \mathrm{~T}_4=270 \mathrm{~K}\end{aligned}\)
