A Carnot heat engine operates between two thermal reservoirs ( T1 > T2 ) to generate as much power as required as to drive a machine ( input power requirement of 30 kW ) plus to drive an ideal heat pump working between 2 temperature limits ( T3 and T4 ) ( T3 > T4 ) . The pump takes 17 kW of heat from the low temperature reservoir where T1 = 1200K, T2= T3 =335 K, T4 = 278...

An engine operates in a Carnot cycle. At point A in the cycle, 2.34 mol of a monatomic ideal gas has a pressure of 1,400 kPa, a volume of 10.0 L, and a temperature of 720 K. The gas expands isothermally to point B and then expands adiabatically to point C, where its volume is 24.0 L. An isothermal compression brings it to point D, where its volume is 15.0 L. An adiabatic process returns the gas to point A....
