calculate the efficiency of an engine working between steam point and ice point. can you design an engine of 100% efficiency? ​

Answer»

Answer:26.79% efficient

Explanation:

ASSUMING you have this question for Carnot cycle/engine,

the formula for calculating efficiency of a carnot engine is

=> Efficiency = {1- (T1/T2)}*100

Where T1 is temperature of cold BODY and T2 is temperature for hot body(both in KELVIN).

Here cold temperature T1 is 0°C = 273.15K

And hot temperature T2 is 100°C = 373.15K

Thus efficiency = {1-(273.15/373.15)}*100

=> 0.267988*100

=> 26.7988%

The efficiency for this engine is 26.79%

No a carnot cycle/engine can never be 100% efficient as to be 100% efficient, the SINK temperature should be 0K to infinite which are not POSSIBLE to achieve.
