Given η=31 When T2 raised by x (T2 = (T2+x)), its efficiency decreases to
η′=61 Temperature of hot reservior (T1)=99∘C
=99+273=372∘K As we know, efficiency of carnot engine
η=1−T1T2=31.....(1)η′=1−T1(T2+x)=61.....(2)η′=T1T1−(T2+x)=61 From equation (1)
31=1−372T2 31=372372−T2⇒372−3372=T2⇒ T2=248 K By putting the value of T2 in equation (2)
T1T1−(T2+x)=61⇒372372−(248+x)=61⇒372−24−x=6372⇒124−x=62⇒124−62=x⇒x=62 K
