Thermal energy transferred between the cold reservoir and the system (Carnot cycle)
Formula
QC
the total amount of thermal energy transferred between the system and the cold reservoir
TC
the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir
SB
the maximum system entropy
SA
the minimum system entropy
Formula description
The Carnot cycle is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle which is the most efficient cycle for converting a given amount of thermal energy into work, or conversely, creating a temperature difference by doing a given amount of work.
