Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For fixed power output |W|and for fixed temperature TH, the radiator area Ais minimum when the temperature ratio TCTH is 0.75should be proved.

Concept Introduction:

For a Carnot engine operating between hot and cold reservoirs at temperature TH and TC, according to the first law of thermodynamics

|W|=|QH||QC|   .....(1)

Where |QH| is the heat absorbs from the hot reservoir and |W| is the net amount of work and |QC| is the heat discards to the cold reservoir.

And

From the Carnot’s equation

  η=|W||QH|=1TCTH   .....(2)
