An ideal gas heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between 227°C and 127°C. It absorbs 6 kcal at the higher temperature. The amount of heat (in kcal) converted into work is equal to
-
- 1.2
- 4.8
- 3.5
- 1.6
Correct Option: A
| Efficiency = | ||
| T1 |
T1 = 227 + 273 = 500 K
T2 = 127 + 273 = 400 K
| η = | = | |||
| 500 | 5 |
| Hence, output work = η × Heat input = | × 6 = 1.2 kcal | |
| 5 |
