    A Carnot engine working between \[300\,K\] and 600K has work output of 800 J per cycle. What is amount of heat energy supplied to the engine from source per cycle [DPMT 1999; Pb. PMT 2002, 05; Kerala PMT 2004]

    A)            1800 J/cycle                          

    B)            1000 J/cycle

    C)            2000 J/cycle                          

    D)            1600 J/cycle

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[\eta =\frac{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{W}{Q}\]Þ \[Q=\left( \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}} \right)\,W\]               \[=\frac{600}{(600-300)}\times 800\]=1600 J
