1. During fever the temperature of our body (say T 1 K) is higher than the normal temperature (say T 2 K). If a Carnot heat engine receives the heat from our body and rejects heat to the ambient which is at a temperature T 0 K where T 0 < T 2 ¿ T 1 what will the work output of the engine? 2. The efficiency of a Carnot cycle is independent of the mass flow rate of the working fluid and depends only on the temperatures of the heat source and sink. Critically assess the importance of the mass flow rate in the overall performance of the cycle. Sl.
