Carnot cycle: Stages, Overview & As a macroscopic construct

A Carnot cycle (English: /kɑːrˈnoʊ/ kar-NOH, French: ) is an ideal thermodynamic cycle proposed by French physicist Sadi Carnot in 1824 and expanded upon by others in the 1830s and 1840s. By Carnot's theorem, it provides an upper limit on the efficiency of any classical thermodynamic engine during the conversion of heat into work, or conversely, the…
