Question: 5 . 1 4 . A Carnot engine operates between an infinite hot reservoir and a finite cold reservoir of total heat capacity C C

5.14. A Carnot engine operates between an infinite hot reservoir and a finite cold reservoir of total heat capacity CCt.
(a) Determine an expression for the work obtained as a function of CCt,TH(= constant),TC, and the initial cold-reservoir temperature TC0.
(b) What is the maximum work obtainable? This corresponds to infinite time, when TC becomes equal to TH.
The approach to this problem is the same as for Prob. 5.13.
