If an amount of heat qh is extracted from a hot reservoir


If an amount of heat Q_H is extracted from a hot reservoir (at temperature T_H) but is simply wasted by dumping into a cold reservoir (at temperature T_C) instead of using it to run a Carnot cycle to extract useful mechanical work, by how much has the entropy of the Universe increased? Compare this to the amount of work which could have been generated by this same amount of heat running a Carnot engine.
