An ideal heat engine operates in a Carnot cycle between $127^{\circ} C$ and $27^{\circ} C$. It absorbs $5 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$ of heat at the higher temperature. The amount of heat converted to work is:

  • A
    $4.8 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • B
    $2.4 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • C
    $1.25 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$
  • D
    $6 \times 10^4 \text{ cal}$

The temperature-entropy $(T-S)$ diagram of a reversible engine cycle is given in the figure. Its efficiency is

$A$ Carnot engine takes $3 \times 10^6$ calories 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

$A$ 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 $K$)

$A$ reversible engine converts one-sixth of the heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^\circ C$,the efficiency of the engine is doubled. The temperatures of the source and sink are:

$A$ 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 $\left( \frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1} \right)$ of the engine in the two cases is:
