A thermal reservoir is a system, typically part of a thermodynamic cycle, that can absorb and release heat without experiencing a significant change in temperature. It acts as a source or sink for thermal energy and is usually conceptualized in discussions of heat engines, refrigerators, and other thermal systems. In essence, thermal reservoirs can be divided into two main categories: 1. **Hot Reservoir**: This is a source of heat at a higher temperature.
