Efficiency of a Carnot engine is given as 80%. If the cycle direction be reversed, what will be the value of C.O.P. of reversed Carnot Cycle?
A. 1.25
B. 0.8
C. 0.5
D. 0.25
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Efficiency of a Carnot engine is given as 80% or $$\eta $$ = 0.80If the cycle direction be reversed
The relation between the effecicy and C.O.P. is defined by formula
$${\text{C}}{\text{.O}}{\text{.P}}{\text{.}} = \frac{{1 - \eta }}{\eta } = \frac{{1 - 0.80}}{{0.80}} = 0.25$$
Reversed Carnot cycle means refrigeration only so answer is correct
