In a Carnot engine, the absolute temperature of the source is \(25 \%\) more than the absolute temperature of the sink. The efficiency of the engine is

  1. A \(10 \%\)
  2. B \(50 \%\)
  3. C \(25 \%\)
  4. D \(20 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}_2=\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{~T}_1=1.25 \mathrm{~T}\) \(\therefore\) Efficiency of cannot engine is \(\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}=1-\frac{T}{1.25 T}=\frac{1}{5}\) \(\therefore \quad \% \eta=\frac{1}{5} \times 100=20 \%\)
