    An ideal gas heat engine operates in Carnot cycle between 227°C and 127°C. It absorbs \[6\times {{10}^{4}}\]cal of heat at higher temperature. Amount of heat converted to work is

    A) \[2.4\times {{10}^{4}}~cal\]                        

    B) \[6\times {{10}^{4}}cal\]              

    C)        \[1.2\times {{10}^{4}}cal\]          

    D)        \[4.8\times {{10}^{4}}cal\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The heat converted to work is the amount of heat that remains after going through sink. From the relation                                 \[\frac{{{Q}_{2}}}{{{Q}_{1}}}=\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\] Given,   \[{{Q}_{1}}=6\times {{10}^{4}}cal,\] \[{{T}_{1}}=227+273=500\,K\] \[{{T}_{2}}=127+273=400\,K\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{Q}_{2}}}{6\times {{10}^{4}}}=\frac{400}{500}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{Q}_{2}}=\frac{4}{5}\times 6\times {{10}^{4}}\]      \[=4.8\times {{10}^{4}}cal\] Now, heat converted to work \[={{Q}_{1}}-{{Q}_{2}}\] \[=6.0\times {{10}^{4}}-4.8\times {{10}^{4}}\] \[=1.2\times {{10}^{4}}cal\]
