A reversible heat engine converts one-fourth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by \(52\, K\), its efficiency is doubled. The temperature in Kelvin of the source will be ...... .

  1. A \(256\)
  2. B \(208\)
  3. C \(104\)
  4. D \(52\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(208\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\eta=\frac{1}{4}=1-\frac{ T _{2}}{ T _{1}}\) \(\frac{ T _{2}}{ T _{1}}=\frac{3}{4}\) \(\frac{ T _{2}-52}{ T _{1}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
