What is the efficiency $\eta$ of an ideal Carnot heat engine operating between temperatures $T_H$ and $T_C$ in Kelvin?

Flashcard de estudo do deck NEET UG High-Yield Review (Biology, Physics, Chemistry).

Resposta

$\eta = 1 - \frac{T_C}{T_H} = \frac{T_H - T_C}{T_H}$.

Explicação

No real engine operating between the two reservoirs can exceed the Carnot efficiency limit stipulated by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
