The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between temperatures of `100^(@)C` and `-23^(@)C` will be

A

`(100-23)/(100)`

B

`(100-23)/(373)`

C

`(100+23)/(373)`

D

`(100+23)/(100)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`eta=(T_(1)-T_(2))/(T_(1))=((273+100)-(273-23))/(273+100)=(100+23)/(373)`
