a) Evaluate the integral for the cycle shown below. Note the direction of heat flow indicated by the
arrows.
o(QT)rev=
Low remperature keservoir
TL=20C
b) Does the value you calculated makes sense given what you know about the Clausius inequality?
Explain why or why not.
c) Using the Clausius inequality, calculate the minimum allowable value of QH given the
temperature of the two reservoirs and the direction of heat transfer if QL=100J.
d) Using the value of QH you calculated in part c, what is the efficiency or COP of this new cycle?
e) What would be the COPR of a Carnot cycle using the same two reservoirs? Compare your answer
to the number you calculated in part d and explain why or why not the COPR makes sense. Note:
Remember the Carnot refrigeration is the same as the Carnot heat engine, just in reverse.
 a) Evaluate the integral for the cycle shown below. Note the
