Carnot Engine

If T1=T2, then Efficiency () becomes zero, This means that the conversion of heat into mechanical work is impossible without having the source and sink at different temperatures.

What happens if the temperature of the source (T1) and the sink (T2) are equal?

A Carnot engine is an ideal engine satisfying two conditions There is no friction between the cylinder walls and the piston. Working substance is an ideal gas. Real engines cannot fulfil these conditions

No real engine can have an efficiency greater than a car engine working between the same two temperatures; give reasons.
