    Carnot engine cannot give 100% efficiency, because we cannot

    A)  eliminate friction

    B)  find ideal sources

    C)  prevent radiation

    D)  reach absolute zero temperature

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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