Carnot Cycle Heat Added and Rejected Calculator

Carnot Cycle Heat Added and Rejected

Heat Absorbed (Q_H):

Heat Rejected (Q_C):

Temperature of the hot reservoir (T_H):

Temperature of the cold reservoir (T_C):

How This Is Calculated

$$ \frac{Q_C}{Q_H} = \frac{T_C}{T_H} $$ where:

Q_H = Heat Absorbed (J)

Q_C = Heat Rejected (J)

T_H = Temperature of the hot reservoir (K)

T_C = Temperature of the cold reservoir (K)

Assumptions

Process is reversible.
Working fluid beavaves as an ideal gas.
There is perfect thermal contact with the reservoirs.
Reservoir temperature remains constant.
