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 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 Carnot cycle has 2 constant specific volume processes (heat in & heat out) the air refrigeration cycle is based on a brayton cycle which has two constant pressure processes.
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.
A Carnot cycle is a sample of something that has greater entropy. The word entropy can e defined s meaning reverse system. The concept of entropy was started with the work of Lazare Carnot.
no, a Carnot cycle is not practiclly possible.bcz carnot consist of two cycles. i.e 1-rev. adiabatic 2-isothermal
The Carnot cycle is a particular thermodynamic cycle, modeled on the hypothetical Carnot heat engine, proposed by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot in 1824 and expanded upon by Benoit Paul Émile Clapeyron in the 1830s and 40s. The Carnot cycle is the most efficient cycle possible for converting a given amount of thermal energy into work or, conversely, for using a given amount of work for refrigeration purposes.
COF = h1-h4/h2-h1=T1(s1-s4)/T2-T1(s1-s4)=T1/T2-T1
