A Carnot engine, whose efficiency is 40%, takes in heat from a source maintained at a temperature of 500$$K.$$ It is desired to have an engine of efficiency 60%. Then, the intake temperature for the same exhaust $$(sin\,k)$$ temperature must be :
A.
efficiency of Carnot engine cannot be made larger than
50%
B.
1200 $$K$$
C.
750 $$K$$
D.
600 $$K$$
Answer :
750 $$K$$
Solution :
$$0.4 = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{500}}\,{\text{and }}0.6 = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}$$
on solving we get $${T_2} = 750\,K$$
