Question 17 2 points Save
Which equation describes the net work done for a complete cycle of a heat engine?
Question 18 2 points Save
How does a real heat engine differ from an ideal cyclic heat engine?
A real heat engine is not cyclic.
An ideal heat engine converts all energy from heat to work.
A real heat engine is not isolated, so matter enters and leaves the engine.
An ideal heat engine is not isolated, so matter enters and leaves the engine.
