MCQ
The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon
- Athe temperature of the source only
- Bthe temperature of the sink only
- ✓the temperatures of the source and sink
- Dthe volume of the cylinder of the engine
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
the temperatures of the source and sink
c
Efficiency of Carnot engine
Efficiency of Carnot engine
$\eta=\left(1-\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}\right) \times 100 \%$
So efficiency depends on temperature of source $\left(T_{1}\right)$ and temperature of $\sin k\left(T_{2}\right)$
