The the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is
The actual efficiency of this engine is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The temperature of the hot reservoir is
The temperature of the cold reservoir is
The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is
The energy exhausts into cold reservoir is
The power output is mathematically represented as
Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour = 3600 s
W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as
substituting values
So
The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as
The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as
substituting values
