Carnot theorem
No heat engine can be more proficient than a reversible engine between a similar temperatures
restricts (the temperature of intensity expansion and the temperature of intensity dismissal) and
all reversible heat engine working between a similar temperature limits have a similar
effectiveness.
Confirmation of Carnot hypothesis
Given:
t1: Temperature of the source
t2: Temperature of the sink
Q: Heat supplied to the heat engine
Q1: Heat rejected by the reversible heat engine
Q2: Heat rejected by non-reversible heat engine
Wr: Work output of the reversible heat engine
W: Work output of the non-reversible heat engine
t1 > t2
Assumption:
Efficiency of non-reversible heat engine is more than efficiency of reversible heat engine.
Step 1:
No heat engine can be more proficient than a reversible engine between a similar temperatures
restricts (the temperature of intensity expansion and the temperature of intensity dismissal) and
all reversible heat engine working between a similar temperature limits have a similar
effectiveness.
