Is it possible to show that the maximum efficiency for a heat engine is given by
[tex]\eta = 1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}[/tex]
where [tex]T_c[/tex] is the temperature of the cold sink and [tex]T_c[/tex] is the temperature of the warm sink?
In other words: How do I prove that a engine run by a Carnot cycle is the most efficient engine?
