Explanation:
For engine 1,
Energy removed = 239 J
Energy added = 567 J
[tex]\eta_1=\dfrac{239}{567}\cdot100=42.15\%[/tex]
For engine 2,
Energy removed = 457 J
Energy added = 789 J
[tex]\eta_2=\dfrac{457}{789}\cdot100=57.92\%[/tex]
For engine 3,
Energy removed = 422 J
Energy added = 1038 J
[tex]\eta_3=\dfrac{422}{1038}\cdot100=40.65\%[/tex]
So, the engine 2 has the highest thermal efficiency.
