Moderate

Which of the following has the least thermal efficiency ?

Correct answer: A. Steam engine

  • A. Steam engine
  • B. Carnot engine
  • C. Diesel engine
  • D. Otto engine

Explanation

A practical steam engine generally has the lowest thermal efficiency because much heat is rejected and its expansion is less efficient than in idealized or modern internal-combustion cycles. The Carnot cycle represents the maximum possible efficiency between two temperatures.
