Discover the key differences between heat pumps and furnaces, including energy efficiency, cost, and climate suitability.
In an ideal case, this process would be perfectly reversible and the Carnot engine would have maximum efficiency. In reality, real heat engines are not reversible and lose energy in the form of heat.
The study published in a renowned journal last month suggests that a heat engine can achieve maximum power output without sacrificing efficiency. Scientists presented a minimal he ...
