A Carnot engine working between 300 K and 600 K has a work output of 800 J per cycle. The amount of heat energy supplied to the engine from source per cycle is?
A.
1200J
B.
1600J
C.
2400J
D.
3200J
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
È =W/Q1 =1-T2/T1 =1-300/600=1/2 Q1=2W=2×800=1600J.
In a given process of an ideal gas, dW=0 and the dQ<0. Then for the gas?
A.
The temperature will decreases
B.
The temperature will increase
C.
The pressure will remain constant
D.
The temperature will increase
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
By first law of thermodynamics, dQ = dU+dW As dW = 0 and dQ<0, so dU<0 But for an ideal gas, U is proportional to T dT<0 Hence temperature of the gas decreases.
