The formula is Carnot COP=Thot/Thot-Tcold

Your meaning is clear, but some parentheses would not go amiss: COP=Thot/(Thot-Tcold).

Also, holy shit this is a fun post, at least for those of us who have a proper appreciation for autistic infodumping. Thank you for writing it!

I hope people find it useful! And thanks: that's the greatest/only compliment(?) my writing has ever gotten.

Haha, yeah, just adding clarity... I definitely didn't forget my default order of operations rules from kindergarten or anything... <_< >_>

You can also write the variables as Thot (from T<sub>hot<\sub>), but then I wouldn't get to laugh at "Thot policing".

Testing if we're using the new math markdown module

$$ COP = {Thot \over Thot-Tcold} $$

Apparently not, damn.

@ZorbaTHut is it possible to get a markdown math module on here? It'd be very convenient for doing formulas by text instead of having to link images. I don't know anything about modern website stuff, but it looks like some people use stuff like this https://www.mathjax.org/ tutorial thingy: https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/content/math.html

I think this mostly comes down to developer time. We need to do a revamp of the markdown setup anyway, but once that's done, this is certainly possible . . . if someone wants to put the time into it. I don't think it's likely to be a high priority for a while.

So basically, talk a friendly coder into doing the work and I'll happily put it in, but I'm not going to promote it for quite a while :)

Yeah, I felt dumb for asking for it when we don't have single-line-spacing yet, my bad
