A Carnot engine absorbs \(1000\,J\) of heat energy from a reservoir at \(127\,^oC\) and rejects \(600\,J\) of heat energy during each cycle. The efficiency of engine and temperature of sink will be

  1. A \(20\%\) and \(- 43\,^oC\)
  2. B \(40\%\) and \(- 33\,^oC\)
  3. C \(50\%\) and \(- 20\,^oC\)
  4. D \(70\%\) and \(- 10\,^oC\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(40\%\) and \(- 33\,^oC\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(Q_1=1000 J\) \(Q_2=600 J\) \({T_1} = {127^ \circ }C = 400\,K\) \({T_2} = ?\) \(\eta = ?\) Efficiency of carnot engine, \(\eta = \frac{W}{Q_1} \times 100\% \) \(or,\,\,\eta = \frac{{{Q_2} - {Q_1}}}{{{Q_1}}} \times 100\% \)…
