$A$ Carnot engine,whose efficiency is $40 \%$,takes heat from a source maintained at a temperature of $600 \ K$. If it is desired to have an efficiency of $60 \%$,then the intake temperature for the same exhaust (sink) temperature should be: (in $K$)

  • A
    $1800$
  • B
    $1200$
  • C
    $900$
  • D

In the $1^{\text{st}}$ case,a Carnot engine operates between temperatures $300 \, K$ and $100 \, K$. In the $2^{\text{nd}}$ case,as shown in the figure,a combination of two engines is used. The efficiency of this combination (in the $2^{\text{nd}}$ case) will be:

$A$ Carnot engine with efficiency $\eta$ operates between two heat reservoirs with temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$, where $T_1 > T_2$. If only $T_1$ is changed by $0.4 \%$, the change in efficiency is $\Delta \eta_1$, whereas if only $T_2$ is changed by $0.2 \%$, the efficiency is changed by $\Delta \eta_2$. The ratio $\frac{\Delta \eta_1}{\Delta \eta_2}$ is approximately,
