A Carnot engine operates between two reservoirs of temperatures 900K and 300K. The engine performs 1200J of work per cycle. The heat energy (inJ) delivered by the engine to the low temperature reservoir, in a cycle, is_____.
Open in App
Solution
Given, work perform by engine per cycle, W=1200J
The efficiency for Carnot engine, 900 Q1=Q+W W=1200J Q2=Q 300
For Carnot engine Q1Q2=T1T2
Q+1200Q=900300 Q+1200=3Q Q=600J
Final answer: (600)
