Question

For 100%efficiency of a carnot engine the temperature of the source should be

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

For 100% efficiency of a carnot engine the temperature of the source should be infinite.

● Explaination -

Efficiency of Carnot engine is calculated by formula -

η = 1 - T2/T1

Here, for η to be 1 i.e. 100 %, either T2 (temperature of the sink) should be zero or T1 (temperature of the source) should be infinite.

Therefore, for 100% efficiency of a carnot engine the temperature of the source should be infinite.

Hope this helps you...
