What percentage `T_(1)` is of `T_(2)` for a `10%` efficiency of a heat engine?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Efficiency of heat engine `(eta) = (T_(2)-T_(1))/(T_(2))`
or `eta = 1 -(T_(1))/(T_(2)) = 10%`
Therefore, `(T_(1))/(T_(2)) = 1- 0.1`
`(T_(1))/(T_(2)) xx 100 = (1-0.1) xx 100 = 90`
or `T_(1) = 90% of T_(2)`
