temperatures 367.7 K and 865.1 K. What is
the efficiency of the engine?
0.787
0.42504
None
0.213
0.5750​

Answer 1

As it is the most efficient heat engine, it's efficiency is [T1 - T2]/T1. It can be measured for every Carnot cycle. From the formula and diagram, we can understand that the efficiency of an ideal heat engine also depends on the difference between the hot and cold reservoirs.
