1.

During fever the temperature of our body (say

temperature (say

T2

T1

K) is higher than the normal

K). If a Carnot heat engine receives the heat from our body

and rejects heat to the ambient which is at a temperature

T 0 <T 2 T 1

T0

K where

what will the work output of the engine?

2. The efficiency of a Carnot cycle is independent of the mass flow rate of the working
fluid and depends only on the temperatures of the heat source and sink. Critically
assess the importance of the mass flow rate in the overall performance of the cycle.
