A heat engine uses two containers held at different temperatures. One container is at 294 K 294 K , while the other is kept at 552 K 552 K . What is the maximum possible efficiency for this engine?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Lower Temperature [tex]T_L=294 \K[/tex]

Higher Temperature [tex]T_H=522 \K[/tex]

Maximum Possible efficiency is achieved when the engine works as carnot Engine

i.e. [tex]\eta _{max}=1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}[/tex]

[tex]\eta_{max}=1-\frac{294}{522}[/tex]

[tex]\eta _{max}=\frac{228}{522}=0.436[/tex]

[tex]\eta _{max}=43.64\ %[/tex]
