Question

How can the efficiency of a heat engine be improved?

Answer 1

In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency ( {\displaystyle \eta _{\rm {th}}} {\displaystyle \eta _{\rm {th}}}) is a dimensionless performance measure of a device that uses thermal energy, such as an internal combustion engine, a steam turbine or a steam engine, a boiler, furnace, or a refrigerator for example. For a heat engine, thermal efficiency is the fraction of the energy added by heat (primary energy) that is converted to net work output (secondary energy). In the case of a refrigeration or heat pump cycle, thermal efficiency is the ratio of net heat output for heating, or removal for cooling, to energy input (the coefficient of performance).
