NEET Questions / Physics / Thermodynamics / Cyclic Process,Heat Engine,Refrigerator
A heat engine operates between two reservoirs at temperatures and (). It absorbs heat from the hot reservoir and rejects heat to the cold reservoir. If the engine's efficiency is half the Carnot efficiency, which of the following relations is correct?
Q_2T_1 = Q_1T_2
2Q_2T_1 = Q_1(T_1 + T_2)
Q_1T_2 = Q_2T_1
Q_1(T_1 + T_2) = Q_2T_2
A refrigerator operates between two reservoirs at temperatures and (). It extracts heat from the cold reservoir and rejects heat to the hot reservoir. If the coefficient of performance (COP) is half the ideal COP, what is the relationship between and ?
Q_H = Q_C (2T_H - T_C)/T_C
Q_H = Q_C T_H/T_C
Q_H = 2Q_C (T_H - T_C)/T_C
Q_H = Q_C (T_H + T_C)/T_C
