Modern Physics for Engineers Lecture slides 18c – Carnot efficiency limit for heat engines
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Based on the idea that entropy cannot decrease for any large (closed) system, this lecture part derives the so-called "Carnot" limit to the efficiency of any kind of heat engine (examples include steam engines, refrigerators, air conditioners, internal combustion engines, heat pumps).
