Question

Heat of 1000 kJ is supplied to a heat engine from a reservoir at 1000 K and it rejects waste heat to a river at 300 K. the engine’s work output is 400 kJ. Its efficiency is 

1000 K पर एक रिजर्वायर से 1000 kJ की ऊष्मा एक ऊष्मा इंजन को आपूर्ति की जाती है और यह 300 K पर एक नदी में अपशिष्ट ऊष्मा को रिजेक्ट  कर देता है। इंजन का कार्य आउटपुट 400 kJ है। इसकी दक्षता  है

A.

40%

B.

30%

C.

65%

D.

57.14%

Answer ( Option A)

40%

Solution

The efficiency of a heat engine

Qin = Heat input to the engine

Wout = Work output from the engine

Given:

POINT TO BE NOTED:

The below formula cannot be used to find out the efficiency of the engine because it is not a Carnot engine.

The efficiency of a heat engine 

TH = Temperature of the hot reservoir

TL= Temperature of the cold reservoir
