Re: Thermodynamics B/C
1) What is this device known as?
2) Who is generally credited with creating it?
3) What is it supposed to measure? What other variable affects the fluid level?

Thermoscope Galileo It’s supposed to measure temperature, but pressure affects it too.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
A hot and cold reservoir are used to convert heat to work in a Carnot cycle. The hot reservoir starts at 400K and has a heat capacity of 40 J/K, and the cold reservoir starts at 100K and has a heat capacity of 20 J/K. The Carnot cycle runs until the reservoirs are in thermal equilibrium.
1. At what temperature do the reservoirs reach equilibrium?
2. How much heat does the hot reservoir lose in the course of this process?
3. How much energy (i.e. work) does the Carnot cycle capture in the course of this process?
4. What is the total efficiency of this process?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C
I'm confused how the reservoirs could reach equilibrium? The Carnot cycle assumes that the reservoirs will never change temperature.mjcox2000 wrote:A hot and cold reservoir are used to convert heat to work in a Carnot cycle.

The Carnot efficiency equation predicts the instantaneous efficiency. Try integrating.
