Question

how can we increase the efficiency of heat engine?cane we get 100% efficiency ? if yes how​

Answer 1

The equation is Hot Temperature minus Cold Temperature over Hot Temperature. These temperatures must be in kelvins to work in the equation. Hence the only way to get 100% efficiency is to have an engine run in an absolute zero vacuum, which we dont have the technology to produce, assuming its possible at all.

Answer 2

Answer:

It is impossible to construct a heat engine of 100% efficiency.

Explanation:

Second Law of Thermodynamics or Carnot's Principle is that : It is not possible to make a heat engine whose only effect is to absorb heat from a high-temperature region and turn all that heat into work. That is, it is not possible to design a heat engine that does not exhaust heat to the environment

• Or, it is not possible to design a heat engine that has an efficiency of 1.00 or 100%. The efficiency of a heat engine can be 100% only if all the heat energy gets converted into work (or mechanical energy).
• The impossibility of converting heat energy completely into mechanical energy, limits the efficiency of heat engines. Since heat energy can never be transformed completely into mechanical energy, so the efficiency of a heat engine can never be 100 per cent
• Early heat engines could convert only about 10% of the heat energy into mechanical energy, so they had 10% efficiency. The modern engines built with improved designs can convert about 40% of heat energy into mechanical energy, so they have 40% efficiency.
• Even if the design of heat engines is improved further, it will never be possible to convert all the heat supplied to an engine into mechanical energy or work. In other words, it will never be possible to design a heat engine having 100 per cent efficiency.
