2. Carnot cycles.

Author

Skiff, Peter D.

Subjects
Carnot, Sadi, 1796-1832, Carnot cycle, Adiabatic expansion
Abstract

A cyclic process is a change of a thermodynamic system wherein the variables of that system (temperature, pressure, and the like) ultimately return to their original values. If the process is arranged to consist of isothermal and adiabatic parts, it is a Carnot cycle, and the energy or work balance of the process can be investigated easily.
