Sagot :

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
