$A$ reversible engine converts $1/6$ of its input heat into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,the efficiency of the engine is doubled. Find the temperatures of the source and the sink.

  • A
    $80^{\circ}C, 37^{\circ}C$
  • B
    $95^{\circ}C, 25^{\circ}C$
  • C
    $90^{\circ}C, 37^{\circ}C$
  • D
    $99^{\circ}C, 37^{\circ}C$

The efficiency of a Carnot cycle is $\frac{1}{6}$. By lowering the temperature of the sink by $65 \ K$,it increases to $\frac{1}{3}$. The initial and final temperatures of the sink are:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between temperatures $27^{\circ}C$ and $-123^{\circ}C$ is .... $\%$?

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Efficiency of a reversible heat engine will be highest at $-273^{\circ} C$ temperature of cold reservoir.
Reason $R$: The efficiency of Carnot's engine depends not only on the temperature of the cold reservoir but it depends on the temperature of the hot reservoir too and is given as $\eta = (1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1})$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In a Carnot engine,the temperature of the reservoir is $527^{\circ} C$ and that of the sink is $200 \; K$. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from the reservoir to the sink is $12000 \; kJ$,the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from the reservoir is $x \times 10^{6} \; J$. Find the value of $x$.

$A$ Carnot engine has the same efficiency between $800 \ K$ to $500 \ K$ and $x \ K$ to $600 \ K$. The value of $x$ is ...... $K$. (in $K$)
