  1. Figure below shows a reversible heat engine ER having heat interactions with three constant temperature systems. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the heat engine

    1. 60%
    2. 30%
    3. 20%
    4. 5%
Correct Option: A

Q1 + Q2 - Q3 = W .... (i)

Q1
+
Q2
-
Q3
= 0 ...... (ii)
1000500300

From equation (ii) , we have
Q1
+
Q2
-
Q3
= 0
1000500300

⇒ Q3 = 60 kJ
W ⇒ 100 + 50 - 60 = 90 kJ
η =
W
=
90
= 60%
Q1 + Q2150
