reverse carnot engine is also called a REFRIGERATION SYSTEM.
rifrigerator is or can be treated as the reverse of Carnot's engine
carnot = carrot
Carnot heat engine was develop in 1824 by Nicolas Leonard.
Carnot Cycle is an ideal thermodynamic cycle that describes the functioning of a perfect heat engine. In the refrigeration system we need a cooling effect. So, in effect, refrigeration cycle is reverse in process than that of a carnot cycle, and ofcourse not ideal. Air-conditioners also run on the similar cycle as refrigerators.
The reverse of a heat engine operating is a refrigeration system operating. In a heat engine, heat is converted into work, while in a refrigeration system, work is used to transfer heat from a lower temperature to a higher temperature.

The Carnot cycle is a mathematical description of an engine that derives its power from heat.
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.
The Carnot cycle is an idealized thermodynamic cycle that describes a perfect heat engine. In the Refrigeration system we need cooling effect.so it has to operate in opposite nature to produce the cooling effect. So we run the catnot cycle reversly in the refrigeration system. So we call the Refrigeration cycle called as REVERSED CARNOT CYCLE.
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.
The efficiency of the carnot engine - or any engine for that matter - is given by the quocient between the desired effect and what you payed for it, that is, the quocient between the net work output and the heat added to the system.
The Carnot engine is the most efficient heat engine possible, but it does not produce maximum energy. It operates between two temperature reservoirs and has an upper limit on efficiency based on those temperatures. The efficiency of a Carnot engine is determined by the difference in temperature between the hot and cold reservoirs.
