| Is such an ideal heat engine possible, which receives 50 J from the heater and performs a useful work of 100 J per cycle? what is the efficiency of such a heat engine
Given:
Q1 = 50 J;
A = 100 J;
Efficiency -?
Decision:
formula for the efficiency of a heat engine:
Efficiency = A / Q1 * 100%;
Efficiency = 100/50 * 100% = 200%;
The maximum efficiency of the heat engine can be equal to 100%.
Consequently, the efficiency of such a heat engine is impossible.
Answer: impossible, 200%
