Vedclass · Answer

(D) The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by $\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}$,where $T_2$ is the temperature of the sink and $T_1$ is the temperature of the source.Given $T_2 = 7^{\circ} C = 273 + 7 = 280 \ K$ and $\eta_1 = 0.5$.$0.5 = 1 - \frac{280}{T_1} \implies \frac{280}{T_1} = 0.5 \implies T_1 = 560 \ K$.For the new efficiency $\eta_2 = 0.7$ with the same sink temperature $T_2 = 280 \ K$:$0.7 = 1 - \frac{280}{T_1'} \implies \frac{280}{T_1'} = 0.3 \implies T_1' = \frac{280}{0.3} = 933.33 \ K$.The increase in temperature is $\Delta T = T_1' - T_1 = 933.33 - 560 = 373.33 \ K \approx 380 \ K$.

$A$ Carnot engine whose low temperature reservoir is at $7^{\circ} C$ has an efficiency of $50 \%$. It is desired to increase the efficiency to $70 \%$. By how many degrees should the temperature of the high temperature reservoir be increased? (in $K$)
