A Carnot engine operates between two reservoirs with unknown temperatures.If the Carnot engine operates at $67 \%$ efficiency,what is the ratio of the absolute temperatures of the reservoirs,T_c/T_h?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by $1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}$. If the efficiency is 67%, then $\frac{T_c}{T_h} = 1 - 0.67 = 0.33$.
