The temperature of the sink of a Carnot engine is $300 \,K$ and the efficiency of the engine is $0.25$. If the temperature of the source of the engine is increased by $100 \,K$, the efficiency of the engine increases by:

  • A
    $0.50$
  • B
    $0.25$
  • C
    $0.15$
  • D
    $0.40$

$A$ Carnot engine takes $5000 \, kcal$ of heat from a reservoir at $727 \, ^{\circ}C$ and gives heat to a sink at $127 \, ^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is $.......... \times 10^{6} \, J$.

$A$ Carnot engine is made to work between $200^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$ first and then between $0^{\circ}C$ and $-200^{\circ}C$. The ratio of efficiencies of the engine in the two cases is

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. Engine $A$ receives heat from a reservoir at $600\,K$ and rejects heat to a reservoir at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ receives heat rejected by engine $A$ and in turn rejects it to a reservoir at $100\,K$. If the efficiencies of the two engines $A$ and $B$ are equal,what is the value of the intermediate temperature $T$ and the ratio of their efficiencies $\frac{\eta_A}{\eta_B}$?

$A$ Carnot engine $(E)$ is working between two temperatures $473 \ K$ and $273 \ K$. In a new system,two engines are used: engine $E_1$ works between $473 \ K$ and $373 \ K$,and engine $E_2$ works between $373 \ K$ and $273 \ K$. If $\eta_{12}$,$\eta_1$,and $\eta_2$ are the efficiencies of the engines $E$,$E_1$,and $E_2$ respectively,then:

The source temperature of a heat engine is $727^{\circ}C$ and the sink temperature is $227^{\circ}C$. What is the maximum possible efficiency of this engine?
