| 1. | Now pair it with a reversed Carnot engine as shown by the figure.
|
| 2. | Fuel cells, for instance, can theoretically reach much higher efficiencies than a Carnot engine.
|
| 3. | A Carnot engine operated in this way is the most efficient possible heat engine using those two temperatures.
|
| 4. | See Carnot engine for the formula, which is indeed based on a ratio of temperatures in kelvins.
|
| 5. | The figure at right shows a block diagram of a generic heat engine, such as the Carnot engine.
|
| 6. | The paper outlined the basic energetic relations between the Carnot engine, the Carnot cycle, and motive power.
|
| 7. | Else I could simply surround the heat source usually used in my Carnot engine with a vacuum and solar cells.
|
| 8. | For the Carnot engine, the entire process is'reversible', and Equation ( 7 ) is an equality.
|
| 9. | The Carnot engine is an idealized device of special interest to engineers who are concerned with the efficiency of heat engines.
|
| 10. | The available work from a Carnot engine is at its maximum when the surroundings are at a temperature of absolute zero.
