A scientist says that the efficiency of his heat engine which operates at source temperature `127^(@)C` and sink temperature `27^(@)C` is `26%`, then

A

It is impossible

B

It is possible but less probable

C

It is quite probable

D

Data are incomplete

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`eta_(max)=1-(T_2)/(T_1)=1-300/400 = 1/4 = 25%`
so `26%` effciency is impossible.
