An engine manufacturer makes the claim that the engine they have developed will, on each cycle, take 100 j of heat out of boiling water at 100°c, do mechanical work of 80 j, and exhaust 20 j of heat at 10°c. what, if anything, is wrong with this claim? the efficiency of this engine is greater than the ideal carnot cycle efficiency.

    hot reservoir temp 100

    cold res temp = 10

    eff = (1 - cold/hot) x100%

    by temperatures eff = (1-10/100) x100 ... by heat transfers eff = (1-20/100) x100

    the claims seem to disagree

    eff = 90% ... very high. 80%

    a carnot may be about 70% If it is reversible and is between two reservoirs
