What should be the condition for the efficiency of a carnot engine to be equal to 1 ?

Statement -1 Reaction between iron and steam is irreversible if carried in an open container. Statement -2 An irreversible reaction cannot proceed in the reverse direction.

Assertion : The efficiency of a heat engine can never be unity. Reason : Efficiency of heat engine is fundamental limitation given by first law of thermodynamics.

Explain why a Carnot engine cannot have 100% efficiency?

The efficiency of a heat engine is defined as the ratio of the mechanical work done by the engine in one cycle to the heat absorbed from the high temperature source . eta = (W)/(Q_(1)) = (Q_(1) - Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) Cornot devised an ideal engine which is based on a reversible cycle of four operations in succession: isothermal expansion , adiabatic expansion. isothermal compression and adiabatic compression. For carnot cycle (Q_(1))/(T_(1)) = (Q_(2))/(T_(2)) . Thus eta = (Q_(1) - Q_(2))/(Q_(1)) = (T_(1) - T_(2))/(T_(1)) According to carnot theorem "No irreversible engine can have efficiency greater than carnot reversible engine working between same hot and cold reservoirs". Efficiency of a carnot's cycle change from (1)/(6) to (1)/(3) when source temperature is raised by 100K . The temperature of the sink is-

Even Carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency because we cannot

Statement-1: Temperature of a system can be increased without supplying heat. Statement-2: If the initial volume of system is equal to final volume in a process then work done is necessarily zero. Statement-3: If an adiabatic curve for a gas intersect with an isothermal curve for the same gas then at the point of intersection, the ratio of slope of the adiabatic and the isothermal curve is gamma .
