(I) A heat engine’s high temperature TH could be ambient

Chapter 15, Problem 22P

(choose chapter or problem)

(I) A heat engine’s high temperature \(T_{H}\)  could be ambient temperature, because liquid nitrogen at 77 K could be \(T_{L}\) and is cheap. What would be the efficiency of a Carnot engine that made use of heat transferred from air at room temperature (293 K) to the liquid nitrogen “fuel”(Fig.15–25)?
