In a refrigerator one removes heat from a lower temperature and deposits to the surroundings at a higher temperature. In this process, mechanical work has to be done, which is provided by an electric motor. If the motor is of 1kW power, and heat is transferred from –3°C to 27°C, find the heat taken out of the refrigerator per second assuming its efficiency is 50% of a perfect engine.

Two moles of helium gas are taken over the cycle ABCDA as shown below in P-T diagram. Assuming the gas to be ideal, the work done on the gas in taking from A to B is

Heat is supplied to an ideal monoatomic gas at constant pressure. The ratio of

An ideal engine whose efficiency is 40%, receives heat at 500 K. If required efficiency is 50%, then intake temperature for the same exhaust temperature is
