An ideal heat engine works between temperatures $T_{1} = 500K\ and\ T_{2} = 375K.$ If the engine absorbs 600 J of heat from the source, then the amount of heat released to the sink is

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

(a) For heat engine, $\frac{Q_{2}}{Q_{1}} = \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$
$\Rightarrow \ \ \ \ \ \ Q_{2} = \frac{T_{2}Q_{1}}{T_{1}}$
$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  = \frac{375 	imes 600}{500} = 450\ J$
