How do you increase Carnot efficiency?

Open in App

Solution

To increase the efficiency of Carnot:
The Carnot efficiency is based on sink temperature $T_{1}$ and reservoir temperature $T_{2}$ , The formula for the Carnot engine is $1 - T_{2} / T_{1}$ .
The efficiency of the Carnot engine increases when we increase $T_{2}$ and decreases $T_{1}$ .
Hence, by decreasing the sink temperature and increasing reservoir temperature. We can increase the efficiency of the Carnot.
