Question

(a) A Carnot engine working in a forward direction (i.e. taking heat from a hot body and rejecting remaining heat after work to a cold body) is a heat engine. Therefore the engine to be used as a heat engine operates in a direction. as it is in contact with the heat reservoir during this segment; and, as its is in contact with cold sink.

Answer 1

A heat engine, symbolized by a circle in this illustration, uses some of the heat transfer to produce work.

The most effective heat engine that is theoretically possible—i.e., any machine that can transform thermal energy (heating) into mechanical energy—is the Carnot engine (work).The heat and cold reservoirs are the names given to the hot and cold items. Only the hot temperatures' absolute values affect efficiency. A portion of the heat QH that is extracted from the high-temperature source TH in the case of a heat engine is transformed into work. The ratio of net work completed to heat absorbed throughout one full cycle is known as a heat engine's thermal efficiency.
