If the temperature of the sink of a Carnot engine having an efficiency 1 6 is reduced by 62 ° C , then its efficiency is doubled. Find the temperatures of the sink and source respectively.

Question

If the temperature of the sink of a Carnot engine having an efficiency 1 6 is reduced by 62 ° C , then its efficiency is doubled. Find the temperatures of the sink and source respectively., 124 ° C , 62 ° C, 99 ° C , 37 ° C, 37 ° C , 99 ° C, 62 ° C , 124 ° C

T C = Temperature of sink T H = Temperature of source 1 6 = 1 - T C T H T C T H = 1 - T C - ( 62 ) T H = 1 - T C T H + ( 62 ) T H 1 3 = 1 6 + 62 T H 62 T H = 1 6 T H = 372 K 1 6 = 1 - T C 372 T c 372 = 5 6 T C = 5 × 372 6 = 310 K
