The efficiency of a Carnot heat engine operating between absolute temperatures T1 and T2 (when, T1 > T2) is given by (T1 – T2)/T1. The co-efficient of performance (CO.P.) of a Carnot heat pump operating between T1 and T2 is given by________?
AT2/(T1-T2)
BT1/(T1-T2)
CT1/T2
DT2/T1
Correct answer
A. T2/(T1-T2)
Explanation
The correct answer is T2/(T1-T2).
