JEE Advanced 2025 Physics question
The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating with a hot reservoir kept at a temperature of 1000 K is 0.4. It extracts 150 J of heat per cycle from the hot reservoir. The work extracted from this engine is being fully used to run a heat pump which has a coefficient of performance 10. The hot reservoir of the heat pump is at a temperature of 300 K. Which of the following statements is/are correct:
Answer: (A),(B),(C)
Solution
(A) W = η = 0.4 × 150 = 60 J. (B) K. (C) For a heat pump, COP \dfrac{T_H}{T_H - T_C}$ = 10
