MCQ
A scientist says that the efficiency of his heat engine which operates at source temperature $127°C$ and sink temperature $27°C$ is $26\%$, then
  • It is impossible
  • B
    It is possible but less probable
  • C
    It is quite probable
  • D
    Data are incomplete

Answer

Correct option: A.
It is impossible
a
(a) ${\eta _{\max }} = 1 - \frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}} = 1 - \frac{{300}}{{400}} = \frac{1}{4} = 25\% $
So $26\%$ efficiency is impossible
