We have a Carnot engine operating between a hot reservoir A and a cold reservoir B. The work produced in the engine is used to power a flywheel. The hot reservoir is boiling water at p0 = 1 bar and Ta = 373K. The cold reservoir is a block of ice at p0 and Tb = 273K (latent heat = 3.3E5 J/kg). For the flywheel we know that Inertiamoment = 2kg m^2, mass = 6kg, c = 418J/kg K. Final...
