प्रश्न
What should be the condition for the efficiency of a Carnot engine to be equal to 1?
उत्तर
Efficiency of Carnot engine, `eta=W/Q_1=(Q_1-Q_2)/Q_1`
Here,
W = Work done by the engine
Q1 = Heat abstracted from the source
Q2 = Heat transferred to the sink
Thus, for `eta=1, W=Q_1" or " Q_2=0,` the total heat which is abstracted from the source gets converted into work.

Consider a Carnot’s cycle operating between T1 = 500 K and T2 = 300 K producing 1 k J of mechanical work per cycle. Find the heat transferred to the engine by the reservoirs.
In a refrigerator one removes heat from a lower temperature and deposits to the surroundings at a higher temperature. In this process, mechanical work has to be done, which is provided by an electric motor. If the motor is of 1 kW power, and heat is transferred from – 3°C to 27°C, find the heat taken out of the refrigerator per second assuming its efficiency is 50% of a perfect engine.
