Question:

The efficiency of an ideal heat engine working between the freezing point and boiling point of water, is : 

Options:

26.8 %

20 %

12.5 %

6.25 %

Correct Answer:

26.8 %

Explanation:

Efficiency of heat engine : \(\eta = (1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1})\)

T2 : Sink Temperature = 273 K ;

T1 : Source Temperature = 373 K ;

\(\eta\) % = 26.8 %
