Efficiency of carnot engine working between ice point and steam point is

A

0.249

B

0.257

C

0.268

D

0.288

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Here ice point ,`T_(2)=0^(@)C = 0 +273 =273 K` and steam point, `T_(1)=100^(@)C=100+273=373 K` Efficiency of the cannote engine
`eta=1-(T_(2))/(t_(1))=1-(273)/(373)=(100)/(373)=(100)/(373)xx100%=26.8%`
