Lower Temperature in IC Engine Formulas

Lower Temperature is the temperature of heat sink. It is where the engine rejects waste heat that cannot be converted into work. It is measured in absolute temperature (Kelvin-scale). And is denoted by T_L. Lower Temperature is usually measured using the Kelvin for Temperature. Note that the value of Lower Temperature is always positive.
