[QUOTE="Steve4Physics, post: 6647633, member: 681522"] I agree with [USER=229090]@TSny[/USER]. The wording in the question is poor/misleading. Edited - correction. ##Q_2## and ##Q_1## are (probably) meant to be the amounts of heat transferred to and from the machine respectively. The sign-convention being used would then be: [INDENT]heat entering the machine is positive[/INDENT] [INDENT]heat leaving the machine is negative[/INDENT] With this sign-convention, conservation of energy gives: ##Q_2 = W – Q_1## as used here for example: [URL]https://okulaer.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/carnot.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
