TIL about the #CarnotEfficiency
A formular which calculates the maximal efficiency of a heat-based engine. It describes the maximum ratio of work which can be produced by a heat base "engine".
Heat-base engine sound strange and theoretical but coal, gas-based power plants as well as nuclear power plants are heat engines.
The efficiency of heat-base engines depends on the difference between the hot and the cold temperastur. A smaller difference reduces the efficiency.
This mean that with the raising temperatures through #ClimateChange make al heat base power plants less efficient.

This another strong argument the fossile energy needs to be ended
