Tc cannot be 0, the lowest possible value of Tc is the ambient
temperature
and we are dealing with absolute temperatures

Ok, another way of doing it using a longer length L you'll find in the
proper
integrals here,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_exchanger#A_model_of_a_simple_heat_exchanger
As the Heat Exchanger Length L increases the efficiency => 100%.


Utter crap. Find out what Log Mean Temperature Difference means
for starters and then investigate the concepts of enthalpy and the
heat energy absorbed by phase changes.



That technique enables 'theoretically' ambient air inputted into a
well insulated
IC engine at 69F and expelled at 70F.


A heat engine is NOT repeat NOT a heat exchanger - simple or
otherwise.
