5. Transient behavior (influence of time)

5.1 Reversible heat transfer at source and sink

Here we consider a thermomechanical CARNOT machine in contact with a finite source of thermal energy, in the form of a thermal capacity C assumed to be constant (not a function of temperature) (figure 7 ). The initial temperature of this capacity is :

TC (0)=TCO

The cold sink is the environment, assumed to be a thermostat whose...
