An ideal Carnot engine takes in 160 kcal of heat at 100 $\circ$ C and exhausts some of this at 35 $\circ$ C.How much work must have been done by the engine?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The work done by a Carnot engine is given by W = Qh * (1 - Tc/Th), where Qh is the heat absorbed, and Tc and Th are the absolute temperatures of the cold and hot reservoirs, respectively. Converting temperatures to Kelvin and using the given heat absorbed, the work done is approximately 116.7 kJ.
