The thermal efficiency of the engine is 41.09 %.

Explanation:

Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed to the total energy expended or heat taken in.

Formula for thermal efficiency of engine is

$\eta=1- \frac{Q_2}{Q_1}\times 100$

$\eta$ = efficiency

${Q_2}$ = heat rejected = 266.7 kJ

${Q_1}$ = heat extracted = 452.8 kJ

Putting in the values we get:

$\eta=1- \frac{266.7 kJ}{452.8 kJ }\times 100$

$\eta=0.41\times 100$

$\eta =41.09\%$

The thermal efficiency of the engine is 41.09 %.
