MCQ

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

✓
same as the $1^{\text {st }}$ case
B
always greater than the $1^{\text {st }}$ case
C
always less than the $1^{\text {st }}$ case
D
may increase or decrease with respect to the $1^{\text {st }}$ case

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

same as the $1^{\text {st }}$ case

a
First case : $\eta=1-\frac{100}{300}=\frac{2}{3}$

Second case : $\eta_{\text {net }}=\eta_{1}+\eta_{2}-\eta_{1} \eta_{2}$

$\eta_{1}=1-\frac{200}{300}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\eta_{2}=1-\frac{100}{200}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\eta_{\text {net }}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\eta$ (first case) $=\eta$ (second case)
