I have a qualitative understanding of a heat engine; that being that when heat moves through a heat engine from a source to a sink, an amount of energy that passes through the heat engine will be absorbed, until no heat gradient exists between the source and the sink
The attachment is a picture of a source (right side), sink (left side) and a heat engine connecting them. Can anyone show me (using their own realistic parameters) how to calculate, how much energy is extracted from the system.
Your replies will be greatly appreciated.
