    Carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency, because we cannot:

    A)  eleminate friction

    B)  find ideal sources

    C)  prevent radiation

    D)  reach absolute zero temperature

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The efficiency of Carnot engine is \[\eta =\frac{{{T}_{1}}-{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=1-\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}\] ?.(1) The value of efficiency of Carnot engine can be 1 or 100%, if the sink temperature (Ty must be 0 K. As practically absolute zero temperature cannot be achieved hence, Cannot engine cannot give 100% efficiency.
