The correct Answer is:
To find the efficiency of the reversible engine, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin The temperatures of the hot and cold reservoirs need to be converted to Kelvin using the formula: \[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 \] - For the hot reservoir at \( 527°C \): \[ T_H = 527 + 273.15 = 800.15 \, K \] - For the cold reservoir at \( 127°C \): \[ T_C = 127 + 273.15 = 400.15 \, K \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for efficiency of a reversible engine The efficiency (\( \eta \)) of a reversible engine is given by: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the efficiency formula Now, we can substitute the values of \( T_C \) and \( T_H \) into the efficiency formula: \[ \eta = 1 - \frac{400.15}{800.15} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the efficiency Now, we can perform the calculation: 1. Calculate \( \frac{400.15}{800.15} \): \[ \frac{400.15}{800.15} \approx 0.500 \] 2. Substitute this value back into the efficiency formula: \[ \eta = 1 - 0.500 \] \[ \eta = 0.500 \] ### Step 5: Convert efficiency to percentage To express efficiency as a percentage, multiply by 100: \[ \eta = 0.500 \times 100 = 50\% \] ### Final Answer The efficiency of the engine is approximately **50%**. ---
