Math Problem Statement
%Eff= (1- Tc/Th)x100%, isolate Tc
Solution
To isolate (the cold temperature) from the efficiency formula:
Steps to isolate :
-
Divide both sides by 100 to remove the percentage:
-
Subtract 1 from both sides:
-
Multiply both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative sign:
-
Multiply both sides by to isolate :
Thus, the isolated formula for is:

- What would happen to the efficiency if and were very close?
- How does an increase in affect the value of ?
- Can the efficiency ever be 100% according to this formula?
- How does this formula relate to Carnot's theorem?
Tip: Efficiency formulas often assume absolute temperature in Kelvin for accurate calculations, so ensure you use the right units!
