Thermal energy transferred between the hot reservoir and the system (Carnot cycle)
Formula
QH
total amount of thermal energy transferred between the hot reservoir and the system
TH
the absolute temperature of the hot 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.
