Abstract:Global warming affects human beings and nature’s ecosystems. Apart from the observed, monitored and measured negative effects on human health and biodiversity, the application of the Laws of Thermodynamics proves that thermal engines can also be affected by having their thermal efficiency reduced due to the decreased value of ΔT (temperature difference between the two heat reservoirs). Considering that the global outcome is kept constant (same power demand and supply), a continuously decreased efficiency resul… Show more
