The temperatures T_(1) and T_(2) of two heat reservoirs in the ideal Carnot engine are 1500^(@)C and 500^(@)C respectively. Which of these, increasing T_(1) by 100^(@)C or decreasing T_(2) by 100^(@)C , would result in a greater improvement in the efficiency of the engine?

The temperature T_(1) and T_(2) of heat reservoirs in the ideal carnot engine are 15000^(@)C and 500^(@)C respectivley. If T_(1) increases by 100^(@)C , what will be the efficiency of the engine?

In a Carnot engine when T_(2) = 0^(@)C and T_(1) = 200^(@)C its efficiency is eta_(1) and when T_(1) = 0^(@)C and T_(2) = -200^(@)C . Its efficiency is eta_(2) , then what is eta_(1)//eta_(2) ?

In a Carnot engine when T_(2) = 0^(@)C and T_(1) = 200^(@)C its efficiency is eta_(1) and when T_(1) = 0^(@)C and T_(2) = -200^(@)C . Its efficiency is eta_(2) , then what is eta_(1)//eta_(2) ?
