Question

An inventor claims to have developed an engine working between 660k and 300k capable of having efficiency of 52%. Comment of his claim

Answer 1

It is possible for the engine to have efficiency of 52%. Dividing 300k by 660k and then subtracting the answer from one will lead to 0.54 which translates to efficiency of 54%. Therefore, between 660k and 300k it it possible for the investors engine to obtain effieciency of 52%.
