An engine's hot reservoir is at . You will make the program draw the best possible efficiency for cold reservoirs from to , and compare a real engine with that limit. The real engine takes in and gives out each cycle, with its cold side at .
The idea. The Carnot efficiency is . A real engine's efficiency is , always below the limit.
Your tasks.
eta, the Carnot efficiency for every cold temperature in Tc.eta_real, the real engine's efficiency.eta_limit, the Carnot limit at , and share, the fraction of it the real engine reaches.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
