Answer:
D. the net heat flow is zero
Explanation:
In one cycle of any heat engine, three things happen:
-
Heat is added; this causes high temperature in the engine ([tex]Q_H[/tex])
- Some of the energy from that input heat is used to perform work (W).
- The rest of the heat is removed at a relatively cold temperature ([tex]Q_C[/tex]).
[tex]Q_H = W + Q_C[/tex]
Conclusively, the net heat flow is zero
