To determine whether the scientist's claim of a 60% efficient engine operating between 27°C and 327°C is valid, we will calculate the maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures using the Carnot efficiency formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert Temperatures to Kelvin:** - The temperatures must be converted from Celsius to Kelvin because the Carnot efficiency formula requires absolute temperatures. - \( T_1 = 327°C = 327 + 273 = 600 K \) - \( T_2 = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300 K \) ...
