Heat Engines, Refrigerators & Second Law

In a carnot engine, the temperature of reservoir is 527∘^\circ C and that of sink is 200 K. If the work done by the engine when it transfers heat from reservoir to sink is 12000 kJ, the quantity of heat absorbed by the engine from reservoir is ______________ ×\times 106 J.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 16

  1. T1=527+273=800 KT_1 = 527 + 273 = 800\text{ K}, T2=200 KT_2 = 200\text{ K}: η=1−200800=0.75\eta = 1 - \frac{200}{800} = 0.75.
  2. Q1=Wη=12000 kJ0.75=16000 kJQ_1 = \frac{W}{\eta} = \frac{12000\text{ kJ}}{0.75} = 16000\text{ kJ}
  3. Q1=16×106 JQ_1 = 16 \times 10^6\text{ J}, so the answer is 16.
