A reversible engine cannot be more efficient than another reversible engine operating between the same temperature limits. All reversible engines operating between the same temperature limits have the same maximum thermal efficiency, which is (T1-T2)/T1, according to Carnot's principle.

One reversible heat engine cannot be
more efficient than another when both engines operate between the same temperature limits; all reversible engines operating between the same temperature limits have the same thermal efficiency; namely (T1-T2)/T1, which is the highest conceivable thermal efficiency for a heat engine.
