Carnot Cycle A Carnot cycle is an idealized reversible cycle that operates between two heat reservoirs at temperatures T 1 and T 2, where T 2 > T 1. It can operate as a heat engine, or a refrigerator. Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 2

Carnot Cycle For the entire cycle, Q = W + DU, and DU = 0. The total heat equals the total work, Q = W. |W| = |Q 2| – |Q 1| Conservation of energy. |Q 2| = |Q 1| + |W| Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 6

Paths b®c, c®d, and d®a Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 9
Carnot Cycle Divide a®b by c®d and then b®c by d®a, and Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 10
Thermal Efficiency (h) If T 1 = 0, h = 1 (100%) Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 11
Refrigerator (Heat Pump) Run the cycle in reverse. Do work |W| on the system, remove |Q 1| from the low temperature reservoir, and put |Q 2| into the high temperature reservoir. As in a heat engine, |Q 2| = |Q 1| + |W|. Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 12

Otto Cycle (Gasoline Engine) Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 15
Otto Cycle W = |Q 2| – |Q 1| |Q 2| = CV(Tc – Tb) |Q 1| = CV(Td – Ta) Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 5 16
