Calculate the efficiency of the motor if it received 150 MJ of heat from the heater, and transferred 100 MJ

Calculate the efficiency of the motor if it received 150 MJ of heat from the heater, and transferred 100 MJ to the refrigerator.

Initial data: Q1 (the amount of heat that this engine received from the heater) = 150 MJ; Q2 (the amount of heat given off during operation to the refrigerator) = 100 MJ.

The motor efficiency can be calculated using the formula: η = (Q1 – Q2) / Q1 * 100%.

Let’s calculate: η = (150 – 100) / 150 * 100% = 50/150 * 100% = 33.3%.

Answer: The engine efficiency is 33.3%.
