Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between temperatures T1 and T2? (2019) 2019
  • Step 1: Identify the two temperatures involved in the Carnot engine. T1 is the higher temperature and T2 is the lower temperature.
  • Step 2: Write down the formula for the efficiency of a Carnot engine, which is η = 1 - (T2 / T1).
  • Step 3: Substitute the values of T1 and T2 into the formula.
  • Step 4: Perform the division of T2 by T1.
  • Step 5: Subtract the result from 1 to find the efficiency (η).
