CARNOT CYCLE
*This cycle consists of two isothermal and two reversible adiabatic processes. In carnot cycle, heat transfer are performed isothermally and work transfer processes are performed isentropically
The Carnot cycle is an ideal reversible cyclic process involving the expansion and compression of an ideal gas, which enables us to evaluate the efficiency of an engine utilizing this cycle.
CARNOT THEOREM
"The efficiency of all reversible engines operating between the same two temperatures is the same, and no irreversible engine operating between these temperatures can have a greater efficiency than this"
