Question:medium
For which of the following combinations of working temperatures, the efficiency of Carnot's engine is maximum?
For which of the following combinations of working temperatures, the efficiency of Carnot's engine is maximum?
Show Hint
- Efficiency increases when $\frac{T_C}{T_H}$ is minimum
- Larger temperature difference $\Rightarrow$ higher efficiency
