Question

In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input. a. True b. False

Answer 1

In a real machine, the work output is always less than the work input is true. The answer is letter A. it follows the law of entropy where no energy can be converted completely into work. Under this law, Carnot’s theorem states that Carnot’s engine can perform 100% of work. However, no such engine has ever succeeded the conversion of work into 100%. The greatest efficiency so far is at 80%.  Because there will always be factors that could affect the conversion of work.
