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

One mole of an ideal gas expands at a constant temperature of $300 \,K$ from an initial volume of $10\, litres$ to a final volume of $20\, litres$. The work done in expanding the gas is ...... $J.$ $(R = 8.31 J/mole-K)$
An electric heater supplies heat to a system at a rate of $100\;W.$ If system performs work at a rate of $75$ Joules per second. At what rate (in $J/s$) is the internal energy increasing?
One mole of an ideal gas goes from an initial state $A$ to final state $B$ via two processes : It first undergoes isothermal expansion from volume $V$ to $3\, V$ and then its volume is reduced from $3\, V$ to $V$ at constant pressure. The correct $P-V$ diagram representing the two processes is
A shown in the figure, the amount of heat absorbed along the path $ABC$ is $90\,J$ and the amount of work done by the system is $30\,J$ . If the amount of work done along the path $ADC$ is $20\,J$ , the amount of heat absorbed will be .... $J$
A total of $48 \mathrm{~J}$ heat is given to one mole of helium kept in a cylinder. The temperature of helium increases by $2^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The work done by the gas is : (Given, $\mathrm{R}=8.3 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~K}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$.)
Consider the efficiency of Carnot's engine is given by $\eta=\frac{\alpha \beta}{\sin \theta} \log _{e} \frac{\beta x}{k T}$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants. If $T$ is temperature, $k$ is Boltzman constant, $\theta$ is angular displacement and $x$ has the dimensions of length. Then, choose the incorrect option.
The efficiency of carnot engine is $50\%$ and temperature of sink is $500\,K$ . If temperature of source is kept constant and its efficiency raised to $60\%$ , then the required temperature of the sink will be .... $K$
