In practise, all heat engines have efficiency less than that of a carnot engine because

Assertion: Efficiency of a heat engine can't be greater than efficiency of Carnot engine. Reason: Effieciency of any engine is never 100%

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

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-

Under what conditions can a Carnot engine have 100% efficiency?

What percentage T_(1) is of T_(2) for a 10% efficiency of a heat engine?

A carnot engine whose low temperature reservoir is at 7^(@)C has an efficiency of 50% . It is desired to increase the efficiency to 70% . By how many degrees should the temperature of the high temperature reservoir be increased?

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.

A : Coefficient of performanceof a refreigerator is always greater than 1. R : Efficiencyof heat engine is greater than 1.

A carnot engine has an efficiency of 1/6 .On reducing the sink temperature by 65 C ,the efficiency becomes 1/2 .the source temperature is given by ?
