3 QUESTION about textbook THERMODYNAMICS Efficiency η = power output heat input Carnot s upper bound: η η Carnot 1 T cold / Thot Carnot efficiency reversibility zero power output science.howstuffworks.com

4 QUESTION about textbook THERMODYNAMICS Efficiency η = power output heat input Carnot s upper bound: η η Carnot 1 T cold / Thot Carnot efficiency reversibility zero power output science.howstuffworks.com What does zero mean? Is there an upper bound more strict than η Carnot at finite power?
