Thermal efficiency from efficiency of ideal gas heat engine

Reference no: EM13667624

A heat engine absorbs 250 kcal of heat from a high temperature reservoir and exhaust 175 kcal to a low temp recover.

1) Decide engine's thermal efficiency from the efficiency of an ideal gas heat engine,

2) From the efficiency that you have computed how much heat is actually converted in to useful work?
