The Carnot Cycle
23. The Second Law of Thermodynamics / The Carnot Cycle / Problem 1
A heat engine operating on the basis of the Carnot cycle is designed by a mechanical engineering student. The student uses an electrical resistor operating at 150 °C as the hot thermal reservoir and a large block of ice at 0 °C as the cold thermal reservoir. The heat that comes out of the engine melts the ice at a rate of 100 g/min. What is the work produced by the engine in 10 minutes?
