Six New Heat Engines Conceptual Question As part of your job at the patent office, you are asked to evaluate the six designs shown in the figure for innovative new heat engines. (Figure 1) Figure
By the second law of thermodynamics, a heat engine operating between two temperatures has a maximum efficiency of,
Max efficiency = 1-[(TC)/(TH)]
Any engine with a maximum efficiency greater than this will violate the second law of thermodynamics
Answer: B and D
