Carnotefficiency
Carnot efficiency refers to the maximum possible efficiency of a heat engine operating between two heat reservoirs at different temperatures. It is a theoretical limit established by the second law of thermodynamics, named after French physicist Sadi Carnot. The efficiency is solely dependent on the temperatures of the hot reservoir (T_hot) and the cold reservoir (T_cold), both measured in absolute units like Kelvin.
The formula for Carnot efficiency is given by: Efficiency = 1 - (T_cold / T_hot). This means that a
The concept of Carnot efficiency is crucial for understanding the fundamental limitations of energy conversion. It
