Figure aside is the schematic diagram of Carnot engine a What do A B and C represent b What are physical quantities that associated in arrow 2 and 3 c Find the class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. A is the high temperature reservoir

B is the Carnot heat engine

C is the low temperature reservoir

b. 2 is the heat flow out of the heat engine

3 is the work output

c. η = 3 / 1

Explanation:

A Carnot heat engine converts part of a heat flow between hot and cold reservoirs into work. In the diagram, A represents the hot reservoir, C represents the cold reservoir, and B represents the Carnot heat engine. Arrow 1 represents the heat flow into the heat engine, arrow 2 represents the heat flow out of the heat engine, and arrow 3 is the work output. The heat efficiency of the engine is the ratio of the work output to the heat input, or arrow 3 divided by arrow 1.
