$A$ Carnot engine takes $3 \times 10^6 \, \text{cal}$ of heat from a reservoir at $627^{\circ}C$ and gives it to a sink at $27^{\circ}C$. The work done by the engine is:

  • A
    $4.2 \times 10^6 \, \text{J}$
  • B
    $8.4 \times 10^6 \, \text{J}$
  • C
    $16.8 \times 10^6 \, \text{J}$
  • D

Let $\eta_{1}$ be the efficiency of a Carnot engine at $T_{H}=447^{\circ}C$ and $T_{L}=147^{\circ}C$,while $\eta_{2}$ is the efficiency at $T_{H}=947^{\circ}C$ and $T_{L}=47^{\circ}C$. The ratio $\frac{\eta_{1}}{\eta_{2}}$ will be:

$A$ Carnot engine operates between $227^{\circ}C$ and $27^{\circ}C$. The efficiency of the engine will be:

Work done by a Carnot engine operating between temperatures $127^{\circ}C$ and $27^{\circ}C$ is $2\,kJ$. The amount of heat transferred to the engine by the source is $........\,kJ$.

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in succession. The first one,$A$,receives heat from a source at $T_1 = 800 \ K$ and rejects heat to a sink at $T_2 \ K$. The second engine,$B$,receives the heat rejected by the first engine and rejects heat to another sink at $T_3 = 300 \ K$. If the work outputs of the two engines are equal,then the value of $T_2$ is .... $K$.
