Chapter 16 Part 2: Question 16.3
An ideal Carnot engine takes 2000 J of heat from a reservoir at
500 K, does some work, and discards some heat to a reservoir at 350
K. Let’s see what happens if the Carnot engine described is run
backward as a refrigerator.What is its performance coefficient?
SOLUTION

will act like an engine but with the signs for QH,
QC, and Wreversed because the cycle...

A Carnot engine is operated between constant temperature
reservoirs, TC and TH. The operator wishes to
increases the efficiency of the engine. If only one reservoir can
be changed by a given amount for either reservoir, which is better:
lowering the cold reservoir or raising the hot reservoir? (Hint:
Think about how the efficiency changes when you change one of the
two temperature reservoirs.)
