A heat engine operates between a cold reservoir at temperature T2=400 K and a hot reservoir at temperature T1. It takes 300 J of heat from the hot reservoir and delivers 240 J of heat to the cold reservoir in a cycle. The minimum temperature of the hot reservoir has to be

Solution

Recall the formula of efficiency of heat engine in terms of work done and heat supplied to the source, η=WQH=1-TLTH, here TL & TH, is the temperature of the sink and source60300=1-400THTH=500 K.
