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...

... 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...

..... Perhaps the fact that the old mathematics was reverified was missed by you? Thus, rendering all your comments about Conserved and flowing calorics, moot. ... I guess so... "Reverified" how? When? By whom? Where? Using what methodologies? What experiments? Throughout this thread you'...

... Tom,... You say a Carnot is mythical, and then say "Since in reality a Carnot engine passes ALL the heat through to the "cold reservoir' Q2 = Q1". At best very entertaining. ... LOL Geez, you got me. LOL In reality , Carnot's theoretical, mythical, non existent engine, according ...

This was still true according to Kelvin's commentary in the 1987 edition.

Actually the date was 1897. ...

Obviously a typo, since the accompanying link I posted was to the 1897 edition. Sorry about that.

Credit for use of the phrase "anti-perpetual motion guesswork" in reference to the Carnot efficiency equation, used in several of his papers:

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"...

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...

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...

.... 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 ...

...Boiling removes energy from the liquid and adds it to the gas, zero heat. All done with work input. ... The transfer of energy: "Boiling removes energy from the liquid and adds it to the gas " by definition, IS heat . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=glLPMXq6yc0 You still are, mechanicall...

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?

The following quote from the following website : http://www.iapws.org/faq1/boil.html In the following table, we list the vapor pressure for water as a function of temperature as taken from the latest IAPWS formulation for general and scientific use. Temperature (degrees Celsius) Vapor Pressure (MPa...
