Thermodynamics
- A reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by 62°C, the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are

Initially the efficiency of the engine was 1 1 which increases to 6 3
when the sink temperature reduces by 62° C.η = 1 = 1 - T2 when T2 = sink temperature T1 = source temperature 6 T1 ⇒ T2 = 5 T1 6
Secondly,1 = 1 - T2 - 62 = 1 - T2 + 62 = 1 - 5 + 62 3 T1 T1 T1 6 T1
or, T1 = 62 × 6 = 372K = 372 – 273 = 99°C& T2 = 5 × 372 = 310 K = 310 - 273 = 37° C 6 Correct Option: A

T1 = 273 + 27 = 300K
T2 = 273 + 927 = 1200K
For adiabatic process, P1–γ Tγ = constant
⇒ P11–γ T1γ = P21–γ T2γ⇒ P2 1-γ = T1 γ P1 T2 ⇒ P1 1-γ = T2 γ T2 T1 ⇒ P1 1-1.4 = 1200 1.4 P2 300 ⇒ P1 -0.4 = (4)1.4 P2 P2 0.4 = (4)1.4 P1
= P1 (27) = 2 × 128 = 256 atmCorrect Option: C
