Hello,
Engine A receives four times more input heat, produces six times more work, and
rejects three times more heat than engine B. Find the efficiency of (a) engine A and
(b) engine B.
e = |W|/|QH|
e = 1 - |Qc|/|QH|
I can't really see how I'm supposed to find any numerical answer to this question. It seems overly simple just to state the efficiency of A in terms of B and vice versa.
What relationship am I not seeing that will help me solve this problem?
Thanks for any help you can give.
