Question: The lowest temperature that has been achieved is about 1 106 K. To achieve this an additional stage of cooling is required beyond that

The lowest temperature that has been achieved is about 1 × 10−6 K. To achieve this an additional stage of cooling is required beyond that described in the previous problem, namely nuclear cooling. This process is similar to magnetic cooling, but it involves the magnetic moment associated with the nucleus rather than that associated with certain ions in the paramagnetic salt. Suppose that 10 μJ is to be removed from a specimen at an average temperature of 10−5 K (ten micro joules is about the potential energy loss of a pin dropping 3 mm). Find the work input to a Carnot heat pump and its coefficient of performance to do this assuming the ambient is at 300 K.
