A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling at 250 K and discards heat at 300 K. Determine a numerical value for the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load").

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

      ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

      ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

  =        

                    =

                    =

                    = 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
