MCQ
According to second law of thermodynamics:
  • A
    A heat engine cannot have efficiency equal to 1.
  • B
    A refrigerator (or heat pump) could have infinite value of coefficient of performance.
  • C
    A heat engine can convert heat fully in to work.
  • D
    Heat can flow from cold to hot body.

Answer

  1. A heat engine cannot have efficiency equal to 1.

Explanation:

Second law puts limitation on the efficiency of a heat engine and on the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator. Heat engine cannot have efficiency equal to 1 and a refrigerator cannot have infinite value of coefficient of performance.
