The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon

Question

The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon (A) the temperature of the sink only (B) the temperatures of the source and sink (C) the volume of the cylinder of the engine (D) the temperature of the source only

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

η=1-(T2/T1) T1=temperature of source T2 = temperature of sink

Q. The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon

the temperature of the sink only

the temperatures of the source and sink

the volume of the cylinder of the engine

the temperature of the source only

$η = 1 - \frac{T _{2}}{T _{1}}$
$T_{1}$ =temperature of source
$T_{2}$ = temperature of sink

Q. The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon

the temperature of the sink only

the temperatures of the source and sink

the volume of the cylinder of the engine

the temperature of the source only

η=1−T1​T2​​ T1​=temperature of source T2​ = temperature of sink

$η = 1 - \frac{T _{2}}{T _{1}}$
$T_{1}$ =temperature of source
$T_{2}$ = temperature of sink
