The father of Heat Engine Science (and some say of Thermodynamics).


 

Sadi Carnot Why does Carnot's name appear on so many concepts and formulas?

Magic shapes The Carnot cycle is created by connecting two "insulated" and two "uninsulated" curves

Carnot Cycle Fact The disconnect between myth and fact

Carnot Cycle Work The Work done and the Heat Lost (discarded)

Carnot Vs 4 Stroke Comparing the 4 stroke cycle to the Carnot Cycle, the 4 stroke wins.

No Reservoirs needed Neither Cold nor Hot Reservoirs are needed to run a Carnot Cycle.
The 'Carnot-Clapeyron-Kelvin' Work ratio actually does not remotely apply to the Carnot Cycle.
Why? Because heat in a Carnot cycle cannot be measured by temperature difference.
