Two ideal Carnot engines operate in cascade (all heat given up by one engine is used by the other engine to produce work) between temperatures, \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{2} .\) The temperature of the hot reservoir of the first engine is \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and the temperature of the cold reservoir of the second engine is \(\mathrm{T}_{2} . T\) is temperature of the sink of first engine which is also the source for the second engine. How is \(T\) related to \(\mathrm{T}_{1}\) and \(\mathrm{T}_{2}\), if both the engines perform equal amount of work?
- A \(\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{T}_{2}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}}\)
- B \(\mathrm{T}=\sqrt{\mathrm{T}_{1} \mathrm{T}_{2}}\)
- C \(\mathrm{T}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}+\mathrm{T}_{2}}{2}\)
- D \(T=0\)
Answer & Solution
