Answered

a carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.600. if it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of and a hot reservoir, what is the temperature of the hot reservoir?



Answer :

The temperature of the hot reservoir of the Carnot heat engine is found to be 745 degrees Kevin.

The efficency of the carnot engine is 0.6 and it is operating between a deep lake that has a constant temperature of 298 Kelvin and hot reservoir.

Let us say that the temperature of the hot Reservoir is T.

From the standard relation we know that,

n = 1-t/T

Where,

t is the temperature of the lake and T is the temperature of the hot reservoir.

Now, putting all the values,

0.6 = 1 - 298/T

0.4 = 298/T

T = 298/0.4

T = 745° K.

So, the temperature of the hot Reservoir is 745 degree Kelvin.
