Problem

A Carnot cycle operates using a heat reservoir at a temperature THT_H and a cold reservoir at temperature TCT_C. How will the operation efficiency change if we decrease THT_H and TCT_C by the same amount? a) It increases. b) It decreases. c) It doesn't change. d) It depends on how much we change THT_H and TCT_C.
