Chapter 19, Problem 40P
Use appropriate energy-flow diagrams to analyze the situation in GOT IT? 19.3; that is, show that using a refrigerator to cool the low-temperature reservoir can’t increase the overall efficiency of a Carnot engine when the work input to the refrigerator is included.

8.
A certain gasoline engine has an efficiency of 32.0%. What would the hot reservoir temperature (in °C) be for a Carnot engine having that efficiency, if it operates with a cold reservoir temperature of 210°C?
Suppose you want to build a Carnot engine with an efficiency of 80%. If the hot reservoir has a temperature of 1200 K, how cold must the cold reservoir be?
