swaha Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share Posted April 8, 2010 probably we added a heat engine in the system. & yes no heat from outside is supplied or rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 So you can use one item at 300K as your source and the one at 100K as the reservoir for rejected heat. Use the engine to heat up the other block that's at 300K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
