Question
Humans and warm-blooded animals maintain a constant body temperature, which is typically higher than their environment. (a) Estimate the maximum efficiency of a thermodynamic engine that is powered by this temperature difference in moderate climate conditions (the living organism is the hot reservoir and the environment is the cold reservoir). (b) Determine the output power of such an engine if the rate at which the energy is transferred from the living organisms to the engine is 100 W.
