To increase the efficiency of a carnot engine, will you prefer to (i) increase the temp. of source by`10K` or (ii) decrease the temp. of sink by `10K`? |
| Answer» Correct Answer - To increase the efficiency of the carnot engine the decreasing of temperature of the sink will be preferred. It is because, decreasing the temperature of sink by `10K` brings about greater increase in the efficiency of the heat engine then that is achieved by increasing the temperature of the source by `10K`. | |
