Explanation:
The efficiency of a real heat engine is given by the equation:
(1)
where
is the temperature of the cold reservoir
is the temperature of the hot reservoir
However, the efficiency of a real heat engine can be also written as:
where
is the maximum work done
is the heat absorbed from the hot reservoir
can be written as
where
is the heat released to the cold reservoir
So the previous equation can be also written as
(2)
By combining eq.(1) and (2) we get
And re-arranging the equation and solving for , we find
