Heat Engine Efficiency And Entropy Calculator
Heat Engine Efficiency And Entropy: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers hot and cold reservoir temperatures, actual work and heat input and device type.
Heat Engine Efficiency And Entropy Calculator is a planned calculator in the science section of Super Calculator, covering physics: thermodynamics.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: hot and cold reservoir temperatures, actual work and heat input and device type.
Outputs: Carnot efficiency (%), actual efficiency, second law efficiency, coefficient of performance, entropy change and maximum work extractable.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Carnot efficiency = 1 - Tc/Th with temperatures absolute, the upper bound no real engine reaches. Coefficient of performance for a heat pump is Th/(Th - Tc) and for a refrigerator Tc/(Th - Tc). Entropy change delta S = Q/T for a reversible process.
