The maximum efficiency of the carnot engine only depends on two factors:
1 - The temperature of the hot reservoir (TH)
2 - The temperature of the cold reservoir (TC)
And is given by (TH - TC) / TH « or » 1 - TC / TH So by that we can see the maximum efficiency (100%) would be when the difference of temperatures between the two reservoirs is infinite.
now the Carnot efficiency or in other words one defines efficiency as heat given the system from which the maximum work is extracted since heat transfer takes place from a body at high temperature to the body comparatively at lower one and hence there is no engine which does the opposite thing unless and until the ambient temperature is at a lower temperature.
the efficiency depends on the ambient temperature whether it being lower or higher .............
heat engine can never attain 100% efficiency or other wise it will not work. According to second law of thermodynamics.
explanation: suppose a heat reservoir at higher temperature acting as source and an heat reservoir at lower temperature acting as a sink and a heat engine is operating between them. And heat q1 flows to heat engine and reject heat q2 (which is reason for not having 100% efficiency) and produces work w.
But to have 100 percent efficiency q2 must be zero, so let us make it zero. Now what happens??
Note: Now we can remove sink at lower temperature because there is no use of sink AND ONLY SOURCE AND ENGINE ARE THERE AND NOTHING ELSE.
Now what is the temperature of the engine?? The temperature of engine is same as of source. AND NOW SOURCE AND SINK ARE AT SAME TEMPERATURE SO HEAT CAN'T FLOW TO ENGINE AND ENGINE WILL NOT WORK.
That is why q2 must be released to sink to link the engine to the lower temperature so that there would be temperature difference between engine and source and heat can flow.
NOTE: Friction or other dissipative effects are not the reason for not having 100% efficiency theoretically. Many people have this confusion. This law is not so simple.
The Carnot's heat engine is a ideal heat engine.In this process the source has infinite heat capacity and the temperature of the source is constant( when we take large amount of heat from the source but it has same temperature ) .This is one assumption. The sink is also this condition means if it gain heat energy from the source the temperature of the sink is also constant . this is another assumption. Ideal gas works as working substance(system).
enclose in a cylinder whose walls and piston are perfectly adiabatic and base is perfectly diathermic.conversion of heat to work is an irriversible process but in carnot's heat engine it is possible.the initial temparature of system is infinite it is depend on temparature of the system.
the perfect ideal gas and the perfect insulators are not exist so this process is only assumption.
Efficiency is defined as output power divided by input power.The efficiency of a heat engine - for specific temperatures - cannot be greater than the efficiency of the theoretical Carnot engine.
Anywhere from 0% to 99%+. Below 0% is impossible; there is no such thing as negative work. 100% and above is impossible by the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics.
Depends on the ration between the exhaust and intake temperatures
I read a scientific article by Ormat (Israeli company) who claim they reached 20%.
No, it is not possible
aluminium should lose three electrons to attain noble gas configuration
yes
For Mg to attain a pseud noble gas formation it must lose two electrons, becoming the ion Mg2+.
Metals , generally, have electronic configuration: with outermost electron having 1,2 or 3. Since, they can easily attain noble gas configuration to attain stability; they readily loose electron.
Normally, when elements react they do so to attain a full outer shell, which is stable. Helium already has a full outer shell and so does need to not react to attain one.
Because unavoidably there would be a loss of energy during the process
Some of the force used in a lever will be to overcome friction, this means that not 100% of the force can be used to lever as some of it will be used to overcome friction as well as an multitude of other forces.
Yes, it is possible and normal.
Yes, smiling is possible in each phase of life. It gives you positivity and helps you attain peace.
If one has a bad driving record, it is still possible to attain car insurance in the state of Virginia. The main problem is that you will end up paying a much higher premium.
A heat engine operating between 2 temperatures, Thot, the heat source, and Tcold, the heat sink, can be 100% efficient only when Tcold is absolute zero. Carnot worked out the equation to determine the best possible efficiency of a heat engine designed to produce mechanical energy ("Work") from heat energy: Wout = (Heat Energy in at Thot) x (Thot - Tcold)/(Thot) Note that (Thot - Tcold)/(Thot) is 1 only if Tcold is zero. In every other case, the ratio is less than 1. The amount of heat energy discharged to the heat sink at Tcold is: (Heat Energy in at Thot) - Wout. (You can work this out from the equation. It reflects the law of conservation of energy. ) This just means that all the heat energy absorbed by the heat engine is converted into either mechanical energy or heat energy at a lower temperature. No energy is lost and no extra energy is created. "Efficiency" according to Carnot's equation tells us the best possible ratio between these two energy outputs that nature allows a heat engine to achieve. You can think of a heat engine as a device that splits an amount of heat energy at some high temperature into mechanical energy and heat energy at some lower temperature.

Energy efficiency is a major concern in the Middle East. In the KSA, companies aim to attain energy conservation targets through energy audits, retrofitting, and remote monitoring to reduce the energy and water consumption of both public and private buildings.
attain means accomplish.EXAMPLE:I want to attain knowledge.
Yes, it is still possible for a male to enter puberty at 16 or 17 years of age. It is unlikely, buy possible, as all guys develop at different ages.
No.To explain requires many years of education
Only if you are a photon. In that case, you always move at the speed of light. If you're not a photon, and have any mass while you're sitting still, and are not moving at the speed of light right now, then you can never attain light speed.
When Ben Franklin first devised his project to attain moral perfection it suggested that Franklin possessed self confidence. Franklin thought it would be difficult but possible to achieve moral perfection.
