Consider a reversible heat engine that employs a hot reservoir at a temperature of 660 K and a cold reservoir at 230 K. (a) What is the entropy change of the hot reservoir during a period in which 4300 J is extracted from the hot reservoir? (b) What is the change in the entropy of the cold reservoir?

The input heat of a Carnot engine is 3,000 J. The temperature of a hot reservoir is 600 K and that of a cold reservoir is 300 K. What is the work done? Hint: The efficiency e of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work done, W, by the engine to the input heat QH : e=W/QH. W=QH – QC, where Qc is the output heat. That is, e=1-Qc/QH =1-Tc/TH, where Tc for a temperature of...
