Two bodies, initially at temperatures Th (hot) and T. (cold) have identical heat capacities given by C = AT in which T is the thermodynamic temperature and A is a constant. They are used as the high and low temperature source and sink for a reversible heat engine. Show that the final temperature they attain is Tc+ Th 2 and hence show that the maximum output of work that can be extracted from this engine is A(Th-Tc)² 4 Tf W = =
