Consider a Carnot cycle heat engine operating in the outer space. Heat can be rejected from this engine only by thermal radiation, which is proportional to the radiator area and the fourth power of the absolute temperature of the radiator (T1). Show that for a given engine work output and given temperature of the higher temperature reservoir (TH), the radiator area will be a minimum when the ratio T1 / TH = 3/4.
