11.Thermodynamics
normal
A carnot engine having an efficiency of $\frac{1}{10}$ is being used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the refrigerator is $10 \;\mathrm{J},$ the amount of heat absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is .............. $\mathrm{J}$
A
$99$
B
$100$
C
$90$
D
$1$
Solution
Refrigerator cycle is
$\eta=\frac{W}{Q_{+}}=\frac{W}{W+Q_{-}}$
$\frac{1}{10}=\frac{10}{10+\mathrm{Q}_{-}}$
$Q_{-}=90 \mathrm{J}$
Heat absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is $90 \mathrm{J}$
