Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
Yes, "energy" in a sense, goes "through" the engine 100% It goes in as "heat". "Heat" is, of course, a term applied to a human perception. The "heat" going in is a form of energy. The heat is taken in by the gas causing it to expand and put pressure ...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
Maybe it would be helpful to draw a distinction between passing "heat" though an engine and passing "energy" through an engine. And yes I know there's no such thing as heat. What I mean is a distinction between passing total temperature through v. passing total energy through? W...

Anything? I'd love to see it. So far, in ten years I've seen nothing. Please! Please! Please... Show me the "reverification". You've seen plenty. ... As usual, empty handed. Nothing but blah blah blah... If you had any concrete evidence of the validation or "revalidation" of the...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
... If a waterwheel can put out work with all the mass going through, losing some of its energy by altitude drop, a heat engine can output work if all the caloric goes straight through losing some of its energy by temperature drop. By Kinematic Theory: all the energy, heat or otherwise can't go str...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
Don't know what's "cold" about 100°C Anyway, your making up numbers or "rocks" out of thin air imagination proves not anything at all. The fact is the "Carnot engine" and/or cycle, as published in Carnot's book in 1824 "transported" ALL the "Caloric"...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
Perhaps you make a valid argument. The same could be said, however, of Kahn's Carnot engine. https://youtu.be/aAfBSJObd6Y If not, why not? He removes rocks to expand the gas then replaced all the rocks to compress the gas. If my "ideal" engine is bogus then the Carnot engine also does zer...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
Tom, by "removing rocks" you are reducing the inside pressure. .... ...That is why it will generate zero CYCLIC work. ... Even your description conveys zero work. Rocks are removed, forward stroke. All the same rocks are put back on, return stroke. Equal and opposite "rock" work...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
.... You still are, mechanically getting zero cyclic work out. That is also part of the Carnot theorem. Work out equals Th-Tc . You've described nothing more than an adiabatic steam spring. ... Actually, work out is Qh-Qc. That represents joules of heat transfered in less joules of heat transfered ...

Re: The TRUTH? η = 1 – (Qc / Qh) = 1 – (Tc / Th)
I've even demonstrated this recently. https://youtu.be/KBtv3skwfDw With water held at the boiling/condensation point just a very slight pressure change causes a transition between condensing and vigorous boiling. Do you really imagine such a rapid pressure change has any significant effect on the te...

Maybe you are forgetting temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance?
