Given 1.0 kg of water at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a very large block of ice at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. A reversible heat engine absorbs heat from the water and expels heat to the ice until work can no longer be extracted from the system. At the completion of the process: (a) What is the temperature of the water? (b) How much ice has been melted? (The heat of fusion of ice is $80 \mathrm{cal} / \mathrm{g})$ (c) How much work has been done by the engine?

Key Concepts

Energy Conservation in Thermodynamics

Energy conservation in thermodynamics is the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another. In processes involving heat engines, this principle ensures that the energy extracted as work plus the energy transferred as heat to the cold reservoir must equal the energy removed from the hot reservoir.

Latent Heat of Fusion

The latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid at its melting point without changing its temperature. This concept is crucial in phase change processes, such as melting ice, where energy is absorbed to break molecular bonds rather than to increase temperature.

Thermodynamic Equilibrium

Thermodynamic equilibrium is the state in which a system’s macroscopic properties, like temperature and pressure, become uniform and no net energy transfer occurs. In the context of extracting work from two bodies at different temperatures, reaching equilibrium indicates that no further work can be extracted because the temperature difference, which drives the work output, has been eliminated.

Reversible Heat Engine

A reversible heat engine operates in such a way that its process can be reversed without leaving any change in both the system and the surroundings, meaning maximum work is extracted with no entropy production. This idealization is based on the Carnot cycle and ensures the highest possible efficiency dictated by the temperatures of the heat reservoirs.

Carnot Efficiency

Carnot efficiency is the theoretical upper limit on the efficiency of any heat engine operating between two thermal reservoirs. It is determined solely by the absolute temperatures of the hot and cold reservoirs, and is given by the formula 1 - (T_cold/T_hot). This concept is essential for understanding the conditions under which maximum work can be extracted from a system.
