1.

Thermal efficiency: Is the ratio between the work done and the
heat supplied to the machine in each cycle.

2. Entropy: It measures the number of microstates compatible with


the equilibrium macrostate, it can also be said that it measures
the degree of organization of the system, or that it is the reason
for an increase between internal energy versus an increase in the
temperature of the system.

3. Thermal energy tank: Hypothetical body with a large thermal


energy capacity (mass per specific heat) that can submiss or
absorb finite quantities of heat without suffering any change in
temperature.

4. Source: deposit that supplies energy in the form of heat

5. Sump: deposit that absorbs energy in the form of heat
