no, a Carnot cycle is not practiclly possible.bcz carnot consist of two cycles. i.e 1-rev. adiabatic 2-isothermal
What is the difference between ideal and actual cycle?
The Carnot cycle gives the theoretical maximum efficiency of an engine operating between two heat reservoirs. The Carnot cycle is an idealized engine cycle that is thermodynamically reversible. Real systems such as power plants are not reversible, and the entropy of a real material changes with temperature (which is not accounted for by the Carnot cycle). A steam power plant operates closer to a cycle known as the Rankine cycle.
because it is the best theoretical engine. our aim is always to make our practical engine as close as that of carnot. if u don't know about the carnot cycle then how will u do that.
In Carnot & Stirling cycle there were 2 isothermal processes. but in Stirling engine other 2 processes are constant volume processes whereas in Carnot other 2 processes are isentropic processes. Stirling engine has low maintenance and easy to built because of there construction. Both cycle's efficiencies near to same. but operating according to there applications.
A Carnot cycle representes a gas undergoing a theoretical - means it cannot be implemented realistically - thermodynamic cycle composed of 4 reversible steps (meaning you can go back and everything will be back to the state it was, or scientifically speaking, the entropy of the universe will remain constant): 1- isothermal expansion of the gas (working fluid) - heat is added from the surroundings to the working fuild and it expands at constant temperature; 2- isentropic expansion of the gas - the gas is allowed to expand and produce work; 3- isothermal compression of the gas - the gas rejects heat to the surroundings at constant temperature; 4- isentropic compression of the gas - the gas is compressed and work is need for that compression.
ya it is practicaly imposible
carnot cycle?
carnot cycle is the highiest efficiency
reversible.But always remember that a carnot cycle is an idealized cycle and it is not
What is the difference between ideal and actual cycle?
The Carnot cycle is a mathematical description of an engine that derives its power from heat.
The Carnot cycle was proposed by Nicolas L©onard Sadi Carnot in 1823. It is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle. It is the most efficient cycle for creating a temperature difference.
The Carnot Heat Engine Cycle and the Carnot Heat Pump Cycle are reversible cycles and do not exist in any actual operation. However, they are very useful for predicting maximum possible thermal efficiencies and coefficients of performance using the absolute temperature of the heat source and the absolute temperature of the heat sink. The Carnot Cycle consists of two reversible and adiabatic ( isentropic ) steps and two reversible and isothermal steps.
The Carnot Cycle is a prime example of what is possible under the laws of physics however the cycle is impractical to build. The facts that its keeps stepping back and forth from isothermal to adibatic processes make it very hard to construct.
