In a Carnot's engine if the temperatures of the source and the sink are decreased by \(100 \mathrm{~K}\) each then the efficiency of the engine

  1. A increases
  2. B decreases
  3. C remains constant
  4. D becomes one
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial efficiency is given by \(\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{T_1-T_2}{T_1}\) Decreased by \(100 \mathrm{~K}\) each the efficiency \(\begin{aligned} & \eta=1-\frac{T_2-100}{T_1-100} \\ & =\frac{T_1-100-T_2+100}{T_1-100}=\frac{T_1-T_2}{T_1-100}\end{aligned}\)
