Attached is a graph of a system that has undergone heating/cooling, expansion/compression. The question is: Suppose now that this system is being used as a heat engine, to convert the heat added into mechanical work. Estimate the efficiency of this engine.
I'm confused...in this system, there is external work being done on it and heat is being taken away from it, so how can it be used as a heat engine?
Please help...
Cheers,
W.
