Answer:
η = 0.5 = 50%
Explanation:
The efficiency of the power cycle is given by the following formula:
[tex]\eta = \frac{W}{Q_1}\\\\\eta = \frac{Q_1-Q_2}{Q_1}[/tex]
where,
where,
η = efficiency = ?
Q₁ = heat received from hot reservoir = 1000 KJ
Q₂ = heat discharged to cold reservoir = 500 KJ
Therefore,
[tex]\eta = \frac{1000\ KJ-500\ KJ}{1000\ KJ}[/tex]
η = 0.5 = 50%
