Which
Whether the heat engine that has greater ideal efficiency for the one that operates between 600 K and 400 K or 500 K and 400 K.
To explain: The phenomenon behind the concept that higher operating temperature yields higher efficiency from the obtained answer.
Answer to Problem 53A
Heat engine operating between
Explanation of Solution
Given: A heat engine is operating between
Formula used: The efficiency of a heat engine is calculated as
The work done by a heat engine is calculated as
Calculation: Efficiency of a heat engine operating between
Efficiency of a heat engine operating between
As the results states that the higher will be the temperature difference between the hot reservoir or source and the cold reservoir or sink, the higher will be useful work done by the system.
Conclusion: Thus, heat engine operating between
