efficiency of heat engine is η=Work doneheat given(Q1)=WQ1heat given is Q1 =2000calorie heat rejected is Q2= 6300 joule=63004.2calorie;(conversion 1calorie =4.2joule); work done=Q1−Q2; substitute in efficiency equation, η=Q1−Q2Q1⇒η=2000−63004.22000 ⇒η=2000−15002000⇒η=5002000=14⇒percentage efficiency =η=14×100=25%.
