(B) The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{W}{Q_1}$.Initially,$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \frac{1}{6} \quad \dots(i)$When the sink temperature $T_2$ is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$ (which is equivalent to $62 K$ in absolute scale),the new sink temperature is $T_2' = T_2 - 62$.The new efficiency is $\eta' = 1 - \frac{T_2 - 62}{T_1} = 2\eta$.Substituting $\eta = 1/6$,we get $\eta' = 2 	imes (1/6) = 1/3$.So,$1 - \frac{T_2 - 62}{T_1} = \frac{1}{3} \implies \frac{T_2 - 62}{T_1} = \frac{2}{3} \quad \dots(ii)$.From $(i)$,$\frac{T_2}{T_1} = 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \implies T_2 = \frac{5}{6}T_1$.Substitute $T_2$ into $(ii)$: $\frac{\frac{5}{6}T_1 - 62}{T_1} = \frac{2}{3} \implies \frac{5}{6} - \frac{62}{T_1} = \frac{2}{3}$.$\frac{62}{T_1} = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \implies T_1 = 62 	imes 6 = 372 K$.Converting to Celsius: $T_1 = 372 - 273 = 99^{\circ}C$.Now,$T_2 = \frac{5}{6} 	imes 372 = 310 K$.Converting to Celsius: $T_2 = 310 - 273 = 37^{\circ}C$.Thus,the sink temperature is $37^{\circ}C$ and the source temperature is $99^{\circ}C$.

For a Carnot engine,the efficiency is given by $W/Q_1 = 1/6$. If the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,the efficiency doubles. The initial temperatures of the sink and the source are,respectively:

Similar Questions

$A$ scientist claims that their heat engine has an efficiency of $26\%$ when operating between a source temperature of $127^{\circ}C$ and a sink temperature of $27^{\circ}C$. This implies that:

$A$ Carnot engine $A$ working between temperatures $600 \ K$ and $T$ $(T < 600 \ K)$ and another Carnot engine $B$ working between temperatures $T$ $(T > 400 \ K)$ and $400 \ K$ are connected in series. If the work done by both the engines is the same, then $T =$ (in $K$)

In a Carnot engine,as the gas gives heat energy to the sink,the temperature of the sink

$A$ Carnot engine having efficiency $\frac{1}{6}$ operates between the source temperature $T_H$ and the sink temperature $T_C$. Its efficiency increases to $\frac{1}{3}$ when $T_C$ is decreased by $64 \text{ K}$. The temperatures $T_H$ and $T_C$ are respectively:

An ideal Carnot engine,whose efficiency is $40 \%$ receives heat at $500 \; K$. If its efficiency is $50 \%$ then the intake temperature for the same exhaust temperature is ......... $K$.
