Lecture

Carnot Cycle: Introduction

Description

This lecture introduces the Carnot cycle, focusing on generating engine work with a cycle, two heat sources at different temperatures, and the Carnot machine. The Carnot cycle involves a perfect gas undergoing adiabatic and isothermal transformations, with work and heat exchanges. The lecture also discusses the Carnot machine's power generation and the differences with real-life cyclones.
