Answer:

D. the net heat flow is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

In one cycle of any heat engine, three things happen:

  • Heat is added; this causes high temperature in the engine (
    Q_H)
  • Some of the energy from that input heat is used to perform work (W).
  • The rest of the heat is removed at a relatively cold temperature (
    Q_C).


Q_H = W + Q_C

Conclusively, the net heat flow is zero
