Question

A gas within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot power cycle during which the isothermal expansion occurs at TH = 600 K and the isothermal compression occurs at TC = 300 K. Determine: (a) the thermal efficiency. (b) the percent change in thermal efficiency if TH increases by 15% while TC remains the same.
