For increasing the efficiency of Carnot'...

For increasing the efficiency of Carnot's engine, which of the folowing is most effective:

A

increasing the temperature of source by `80^(@)C`

B

decreasing temperature of sink by `80^(@)C`

C

increasing temperature of source by `40^(@)C` and decreasing temperature of sink by `40^(@)C`

D

all the above steps are equally effective.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`n=1-(T_(2))/(T_(1))` For increasing of `eta` decreasing the value of
`T_(2)` is most effective.
Thus, correct choice is (b).
