The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $50\%$ and the temperature of the sink is $500 \ K$. If the temperature of the source is kept constant and its efficiency is raised to $60\%$,then the required temperature of the sink will be: (in $K$)

  • A
    $100$
  • B
    $400$
  • C
    $600$

Which type of process is performed in an ideal engine?

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. The engine $A$ receives heat from the source at temperature $T_1$ and rejects the heat to the sink at temperature $T$. The second engine $B$ receives the heat at temperature $T$ and rejects to its sink at temperature $T_2$. For what value of $T$ are the efficiencies of the two engines equal?

Two Carnot engines $A$ and $B$ are operated in series. Engine $A$ receives heat from a reservoir at $600\,K$ and rejects heat to a reservoir at temperature $T$. Engine $B$ receives heat rejected by engine $A$ and in turn rejects it to a reservoir at $100\,K$. If the efficiencies of the two engines $A$ and $B$ are equal,what is the value of the intermediate temperature $T$ and the ratio of their efficiencies $\frac{\eta_A}{\eta_B}$?

Under which ideal condition does the efficiency of a Carnot engine become $100 \%$?

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is $100\%$ if
