What is the efficiency of Carnot cycle (where T1 is source temperature and T2 is sink temperature)?(a) \(\frac{(T_1-T_2)}{T_2} \)(b) \(\frac{(T_2-T_1)}{T_1} \)(c) \(\frac{(T_1-T_2)}{T_1} \)(d) \(\frac{(T_2-T_1)}{T_2} \)This question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.Question is from Inorganic Chemical in portion Inorganic Chemical Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer»

Right choice is (a) \(\frac{(T_1-T_2)}{T_2} \)

To EXPLAIN I would say: The efficiency of an ideal Carnot cycle is given by \(\frac{(1-T_2)}{T_2},\) where T1 is high TEMPERATURE reservoir and T2 is low temperature reservoir.
