$A$ Carnot engine having efficiency $\frac{1}{6}$ operates between the source temperature $T_H$ and the sink temperature $T_C$. Its efficiency increases to $\frac{1}{3}$ when $T_C$ is decreased by $64 \text{ K}$. The temperatures $T_H$ and $T_C$ are respectively:

$A$ Carnot engine is made to work between $200\,^{\circ}C$ and $0\,^{\circ}C$ first and then between $0\,^{\circ}C$ and $-200\,^{\circ}C$. The ratio of efficiencies $\left( \frac{\eta_2}{\eta_1} \right)$ of the engine in the two cases is:

For a Carnot engine,the efficiency is given by $W/Q_1 = 1/6$. If the temperature of the sink is reduced by $62^{\circ}C$,the efficiency doubles. The initial temperatures of the sink and the source are,respectively:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends on what,and of what is it independent?

$A$ Carnot engine with efficiency $\eta$ operates between two heat reservoirs with temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$, where $T_1 > T_2$. If only $T_1$ is changed by $0.4 \%$, the change in efficiency is $\Delta \eta_1$, whereas if only $T_2$ is changed by $0.2 \%$, the efficiency is changed by $\Delta \eta_2$. The ratio $\frac{\Delta \eta_1}{\Delta \eta_2}$ is approximately,
