The efficiency of carnot engine depends on

Assertion : Efficiency of a Carnot engine increase on reducing the temperature of sink. Reason : The efficiency of a Carnot engine is defined as ratio of net mechanical work done per cycle by the gas to the amount of heat energy absorbed per cycle from the source.

A Carnot reversible engine converts 1//6 of heat input into work. When the temperature of the sink is redused by 62 K, the efficiency of Carnot’s cycle becomes 1//3 . The sum of temperature (in kelvin) of the source and sink will be

Temperature of source is 327^(@)C . Temperature of sink is changed in order to increase the efficiency of engine from (1)/(5) to (1)/(4) , by

Temperature of source is 327^(@)C . Temperature of sink is changed in order to increase the efficiency of engine from (1)/(5) to (1)/(4) , by

If the temperature of the sink of a Carnot engine having an efficiency (1)/( 6) is reduced by 62^(@)C , then its efficiency is doubled. Find the temperature of the sink and source respectively.

Two Carnot engines A and B are operated in series. The engine A receives heat from the source at temperature T_1 and rejects the heat to the sink at temperature T. The second engine B receives the heat at temperature T and rejects to its sink at temperature T_(2) . For what value of T the efficiencies of the two engines are equal?

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

A Carnot engine efficiency is equal to 1/7 . If the temperature of the sink is reduced by 65 K , the efficiency becomes 1/4 . The temperature of the source and the sink in the first case are respectively

A cannot engine has efficiency (1)/(6) . If temperature of sink is decreased by 62^(@)C then its efficiency becomes (1)/(3) then the temperature of source and sink:
