Fig. (31) 26 SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS for the heat Q rejected to the refrigerator is what is left afterAW thermal units have been changed into work. Camots Principle. — It was first pointedout by Carnot that the efficiency of areversible engine does not depend on thenature of the working… … Fig. 15. Let us sce what would be the conse- quence if this principle were not true.Suppose there are two reversible engines R and A^ each takingQ thermal units per second from the source of heat, of whichA is the more efficient, so that Q Q -^^^ is larger than AW^ _ Q- Q/Q Q ^^^^ this can happen…
