    The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between reservoirs maintained at temperatures \[{{27}^{o}}C\] and \[={{123}^{o}}C\] is:

    A)  0.75

    B)  0.4

    C)  0.25            

    D)  0.5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The efficiency \[(\eta )\] of Carnot engine is defined as the amount of work divided by the heat transferred between the system and the hot reservoir. i.e., \[\eta =\frac{\Delta \,W}{\Delta \,{{Q}_{H}}}=1-\frac{{{T}_{C}}}{{{T}_{H}}}\] Given, \[{{T}_{H}}={{27}^{o}}C=273+27=300\,K\], \[{{T}_{C}}=-{{123}^{o}}C=273-123=150\,K\] \[\therefore \] \[\eta =1-\frac{150}{300}=0.5\]
