MCQ

The maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine is ...........

A
$100 \%$
B
$\frac{T_1}{T_2}$
C
$\frac{T_1}{T_2}+1$
✓
Dependent upon the temperature of source $\left(T_1\right)$ and $\operatorname{sink}\left(T_2\right)$ and is equal to $\left(1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Dependent upon the temperature of source $\left(T_1\right)$ and $\operatorname{sink}\left(T_2\right)$ and is equal to $\left(1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}\right)$

d
(d)

$\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}$

So it depends on source and sink temperature.

An ideal gas of density $\rho=0.2 kg m ^{-3}$ enters a chimney of height $h$ at the rate of $\alpha=0.8 kg s ^{-1}$ from its lower end, and escapes through the upper end as shown in the figure. The cross-sectional area of the lower end is $A_1=0.1 m ^2$ and the upper end is $A_2=0.4 m ^2$. The pressure and the temperature of the gas at the lower end are $600 Pa$ and $300 K$, respectively, while its temperature at the upper end is $150 K$. The chimney is heat insulated so that the gas undergoes adiabatic expansion. Take $g=10 ms ^{-2}$ and the ratio of specific heats of the gas $\gamma=2$. Ignore atmospheric pressure.
