What is the efficiency of an engine that does 576 J of work and exhausts 144 J of heat while taking in 720 J of heat?

A. 80%
B. 10%
C. 25%
D. 20%

Respuesta :

the answe would be 80%

Answer:

The efficiency of an engine is 80%.

(A) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done = 576 J

Supplied heat = 720 J

Exhausts of heat = 144 J

We need to calculate the efficiency

Using formula of efficiency

[tex]\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_{2}}{Q_{1}}[/tex]

Where, Q₁ = Supplied heat

Q₂ =  Exhausts of heat

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\eta=1-\dfrac{144}{720}[/tex]

[tex]\eta=0.8\times100[/tex]

[tex]\eta=80\%[/tex]

Hence, The efficiency of an engine is 80%.
