The efficiency of a Carnot engine depends upon:

A

the temperature of the sink only.

B

the temperatures of the source and the sink.

C

the volume of the cylinder of the engine.

D

the temperature of the source only.

Step-by-Step Solution

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the formula η=1T2T1\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}, where T1T_1 is the temperature of the source (hot reservoir) and T2T_2 is the temperature of the sink (cold reservoir). Therefore, the efficiency depends on the temperatures of both the source and the sink.
