For an ideal heat engine, the temperature of the source is \(127\,^{\circ} C\). In order to have \(60\, \%\) efficiency the temperature of the sink should be \(........\,{ }^{\circ} C\). (Round off to the Nearest Integer)

  1. A \(-\,113\)
  2. B \(121\)
  3. C \(107\)
  4. D \(128\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-\,113\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(n =0.60=1=\frac{ T _{ L }}{ T _{ H }}\) \(\frac{ T _{ L }}{ T _{ H }}=0.4 \Rightarrow T _{ L }=0.4 \times 400\) \(=160\, K\) \(=-113\,^{\circ} C\)
