This inefficiency can be attributed to three causes. There is an overall theoretical limit to the efficiency of any heat engine due to temperature, called the Carnot efficiency. Second, specific types of engines have lower limits on their efficiency due to the inherent irreversibility of the engine cycle they use. Thirdly, the non ideal behaviour of real engines, such as mechanical friction and losses in the combustion process causes further efficiency losses.
OR
· friction of moving parts
· inefficient combustion
· heat loss from the combustion chamber
· departure of the working fluid from the thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas
· aerodynamic drag of air moving through the engine
· energy used by auxiliary equipment like oil and water pumps
· inefficient compressors and turbines
· imperfect valve timing
If we consider the "ideal value" to be a Carnot engine operating between the heat source and heat sink of the actual engine, there are several factors that reduce the efficiency of the actual engine - most of which are deviations from the Carnot cycle:
Adding to this is the fact that most heat engines do something closer to isobaric expansions (across a valve) or isochoric (constant volume) heating and cooling, which are less efficient than the corresponding steps in the Carnot Cycle.
No, an efficiency greater than one would not be possible, since that would violate a very fundamental law of physics: conservation of energy. The efficiency of an "ideal machine" would be one, in many cases; the efficiency of an ideal Carnot engine would be less than one.

In practical there is no machine which have efficiency 100%,i.e. output work = input work. But an ideal machine have efficiency of 100%, for an example a Carnot's heat engine. The efficiency of this engine is 100% but it is an ideal situation. As an expression of efficiency it is equal to W/Q, where W is work done by the system and Q is heat put into the system. For efficiency =1 ,i.e.100% if and only if W=Q and vice verse.
Using Carnot's equation of ideal efficiency, N= 1-C/H C is the temperature of the cold reservoir and H is the temperature of the hot reservoir. So it would be N= 1-300/500= .4 or 40%
An ideal machine can reach 100% efficiency as there is no friction or other restraints involved, whereas a real machine can never reach 100% efficiency.
friction, imperfect insulation

frictionIn real machines, as opposed to ideal machines, there is always friction that reduces the efficiency of the machine. Lubricants like oil can be used to reduce friction and improve efficiency.

The answer is 38.
It is efficiency of the propelling device in converting the applied torque into useful thrust. In an IDEAL propeller the freestream velocity and the slipstream velocity should be same. The higher the exhaust/slip stream velocity, higher is the wasted kinetic energy. Thus turbojet engine has lower propulsive efficiency and turbo-prop engine has higher propulsive efficiency.
In an ideal frictionless system, the work input equals the output and force. Your Welcome!!!

Yes. Without it, the engine management system can no longer control the engine for ideal fuel and pollution efficiency. It'll burn more and dirtier. And this can damage the catalytic converter.
carnot's heat heat engine is also known as ideal heat engine.because in carnot's the precess is reversible .Total heat converted into work . The efficiency is maximum for carnot's heat engine.
