What is known as carnot heat engin?

carnot's heat heat engine is also known as ideal heat engine.because in carnot's the precess is reversible .Total heat converted into work . The efficiency is maximum for carnot's heat engine.


What factors reduce the efficiency of a heat engine from its ideal value.?

friction, imperfect insulation


Why the carnot's heat engine has more efficiency than the heat engine?

The Carnot's heat engine is an ideal heat engine.In this process the source has infinite thermal heat capacity and the temperature of the source is constant( when we take large amount of heat from the source but it has same temperature ) .This is one assumption. The sink is also this condition means if it gain maximum heat energy from the source the temperature of the sink is also constant . this is another assumption. Ideal gas works as working substance(system).enclose in a cylinder whose walls and piston are perfectly adiabatic and base is perfectly diathermic.conversion of heat to work is an irriversible process but in carnot's heat engine it is possible.the initial temparature of system is infinite it is depend on temparature of the system.the perfect ideal gas and the perfect insulators are not exist so this process is only assumption.there is no heat engine which has more efficiency than the carnot's heat engineRGUKT IIIT NUZVID: N091528http://wiki.answers.com/'Why_is_the_carnot_efficency_the_maximum_efficiency_for_a_heat_engine&action=edit
