Short Answer
An ideal Carnot engine operates between reservoirs having temperatures of 125°C and -20°C. Each cycle the heat expelled by this engine is used to melt 30.0 g of ice at 0.00°C. The heat of fusion of water is 3.34 × 105 J/kg and the heat of vaporization of water is 2.25 × 106 J/kg.
(a) How much work does this engine do each cycle?
(b) How much heat per cycle does this engine absorb at the hot reservoir?
