Question

The efficiency of a canot engine is more when the temperature of the sink is increased by 50%

Answer 1

The efficiency of a carnot engine is more when the temperature of the sink is increased by 50% is 33.33%

What is Efficiency?

The efficiency is defined as the work done by the engine divided by the heat supplied.

Work done is the difference between the heat supplied and heat rejected.

So, efficiency η = 1 - T₁/T₂

Where T₁ is the lower temperature and T₂ is the higher temperature.

The temperature of the sink is increased by 50%. If the lower temperature is T₁, then the higher temperature will be 1.50T₁

Substitute the value into the expression , we get

η = 1 - T₁ / 1.5T₁ x 100 %

η = 33.33 %

Thus, the efficiency of the carnot engine is 33.33 %
