Second Law of Thermodynamics
It is proposed that a cyclic heat engine be constructed to operate in the ocean at a location
where the water temperature is 20 °C near the surface and 5 °C at some greater depth. What
is the maximum possible thermal efficiency of such an engine?
A heat pump is used to maintain a heated space at 22 °C by extracting heat from outdoor air
on a day when the air temperature is 0 °C. Determine the maximum COP that the heat pump
can achieve under these circumstances.
