Carnot Cycle
Carnot Cycle
The Carnot cycle is a special thermodynamic cycle suggested in 1824 by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot and elaborated in the 1830s and 40s by Benoit Paul Émile Clapeyron. It is the most effective surviving cycle capable of converting a afforded quantity of thermal energy into work or, conversely, producing a temperature difference by doing a given quantity of work.
Reversible processes of Carnot Cycle
It exists of four basic reversible processes intending that the cycle as a whole is also reversible. The four reversible processes are:
1. Heat transfer from the working fluid to the low-temperature reservoir (Condenser).
2. Adiabatic increase in the temperature of the working fluid (Heat Pump).
3. Heat transfer from the high-temperature reservoir to the working fluid (Boiler).
4. Adiabatic decrease in the temperature of the working fluid (Turbine).
