Question:

What is the efficiency of an heat engine working in the temperature ranges 25oC and 225oC ?

Options:

28.6%

49.25%

40%

19.19%

Correct Answer:

40%

Explanation:

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

T2 : Sink Temperature = 25oC = 298 K ;

T1 : Source Temperature = 225oC = 498 K ;

\(\eta = (1 - \frac{298}{498})\)

\(\eta = 40.1%\)
