$\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
So it depends on source and sink temperature.

Given that $1\,g$ of water in liquid phase has volume $1\,cm^3$ and in vapour phase $1671\, cm^3$ at atmospheric pressure and the latent heat of vaporization of water is $2256\,J/g;$ the change in the internal energy in joules for $1\,g$ of water at $373\,K$ when it changes from liquid phase to vapour phase at the same temperature is ....... $J$
The given diagram shows four processes i.e., isochoric, isobaric, isothermal and adiabatic. The correct assignment of the processes, in the same order is given by
A piece of hot copper at $100^{\circ} C$ is plunged into a pond at $30^{\circ} C$. The copper cools down to $30^{\circ} C$, while the pond being huge stays at its initial temperature. Then,
$0.02\, moles$ of an ideal diatomic gas with initial temperature $20^{\circ} C$ is compressed from $1500 \,cm ^{3}$ to $500 \,cm ^{3}$. The thermodynamic process is such that $p V^{2}=\beta$, where $\beta$ is a constant. Then, the value of $\beta$ is close to (the gas constant, $R=8.31 \,J / K / mol$ ).
Neon gas of a given mass expands isothermally to double volume. What should be the further fractional decrease in pressure, so that the gas when adiabatically compressed from that state, reaches the original state?
$Assertion :$ In isothermal process whole of the heat supplied to the body is converted into internal energy.
$Reason :$ According to the first law of thermodynamics : $\Delta Q = \Delta U + p\Delta V$
