The efficiency of a Carnot engine which operates between the two temperatures ( T₁=500 ~K ) and ( T₂=300 ~K ) is
Options
- A( 50 % )
- B1) ( 25 % )
- C( 75 % )
- D( 40 % )
Correct answer
D. ( 40 % )
Step-by-step solution
Efficiency, ( = (1- T₂ T₁ ) 100 % ) Given ( T₁=500 ; T₂=300 ~K ) Therefore, ( = (1- 300 500 ) 100= 200 500 100=40 % )
