  • question_answer
    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) \[80{}^\circ C\], \[37{}^\circ C\]          

    B) \[95{}^\circ C\], \[98{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[90{}^\circ C\], \[37{}^\circ C\]          

    D) \[99{}^\circ C\], \[37{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Initially \[\eta =\left( 1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)=\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{1}{6}\]                     ...(i) Finally \[\eta '=\left( 1-\frac{T{{'}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)=\left( 1-\frac{({{T}_{2}}-62)}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)=1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}+\frac{62}{{{T}_{1}}}\] \[=\eta +\frac{62}{{{T}_{1}}}\]                                                ...(ii) It is given that \[\eta '=2\eta \]hence solving equation (i) and (ii) \[{{T}_{1}}=372K=99{}^\circ C\] and \[{{T}_{2}}=310K=37{}^\circ C\]
