During each cycle, a heat engine absorbs 400J of heat from its high-temperature source and discards 300J of heat into its low-temperature sink. What is the efficiency of this engine?

Answer»

`1/7`
`1/4`
`3/7`
`4/7`

SOLUTION :Since the engine takes in 400 J of ENERGY and produces only 400 J-300J=100J of useful WORK, its efficiency is `((100J))/((400J))=(1)/(4)`.
