Physical Chemistry I
The Carnot Cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle that represents the most efficient possible heat engine, consisting of four reversible processes: two isothermal and two adiabatic. It serves as a standard benchmark for comparing the performance of real heat engines and illustrates key principles in thermodynamics, such as the limitations on efficiency imposed by temperature differences.
congrats on reading the definition of Carnot Cycle. now let's actually learn it.
