Answer:

Option B is correct

Explanation:

Let

Higher temperature = T_H

Lower temperature = T_L

We know that COP is given by

COP = \frac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}

We see that COP is depends only on the temperature difference & Temperature difference is maximum for the Carnot cycle.

Therefore the COP of reversible refrigeration cycle is always less then the COP of  an irreversible refrigeration cycle when each operates between the same two thermal reservoirs.

Therefore option B is correct

Describe the make-up of an internal combustion engine.<br> Pls answer quickly.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The engine consists of a fixed cylinder and a moving piston. The expanding combustion gases push the piston, which in turn rotates the crankshaft. Ultimately, through a system of gears in the power-train, this motion drives the vehicle's wheels.

A flywheel performs each of these functions except: A. Contains a gear used for engine starting B. Smoothes engine operation C.
torisob [31]

Answer:

C. Provides lubrication to parts

Explanation:

Flywheel :

 Flywheel is a device which stored the mechanical energy.This energy can be use when more energy required during any operation.Due to high moment of inertia of the flywheel it resist the change in the speed .The flywheel is attached to the crank shaft at the rear side of the engine.

The flywheel perform following function:

1. It connects the crankshaft and the transmission system.

2.It makes the engine operation smooth.

3.It contains gear and other parts of the engine.

But it can not provide lubrication.

C. Provides lubrication to parts

Why is it reasonable to say that no system is 100% efficient?​
Virty [35]

Generally, frictional losses are more predominant for the machines being not 100% efficient. This friction leads to the loss of energy in the form of heat, into the surroundings. Some of the supplied energy may be utilised to change the entropy (measure of randomness of the particles) of the system.
