A scientist says that the efficiency of his heat engine which works at source temperature of 127oC and sink temperature 27oC is 26%.
It is impossible
It is possible but less probable
It is quite possible
Data is incomplete
An ideal gas undergoing adiabatic change has the following pressure-temperature relationship
pγ-1Tγ = constant
pγTγ-1 = constant
pγT1-γ = constant
p1-γTγ = constant
If cp and cv denote the specific heat of nitrogen per unit mass at constant pressure and constant volume respectively, then
cp - cv = R/28
cp - cv = R/14
cp - cv = R
cp - cv = 28R
The efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between temperatures of 100oC and -23oC will be
A diatomic ideal gas is used in a Carnot engine as the working substance. If during the adiabatic expansion part of the cycle the volume of the gas increased from V to 32 V, the efficiency of the engine is

The temperature of source and sink of a heat engine are 127oC and 27oC respectively. An inventor claims its efficiency to be 26%, then
It is possible with high probability
It is possible with low probability
Data are insufficient
When a system is taken from the initial state i to final state f along the path iaf, it is found that Q = 50 cal and W = 20 cal. If along the path ibf, Q = 36 cal, then W along the path ibf is
6 cal
16 cal
66 cal
14 cal
