no, a Carnot cycle is not practiclly possible.bcz carnot consist of two cycles. i.e 1-rev. adiabatic 2-isothermal

Difference between Carnot and ideal cycle?

What is the difference between ideal and actual cycle?


Limitations of the Carnot cycle for the operation of the steam power plant?

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.


Why you learn carnot cycle while it is not use in reality?

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.


Which cycle is best in heat engine?

The ideal cycle for a heat engine is often considered to be the Carnot cycle, as it provides the maximum possible efficiency between two temperature reservoirs. This theoretical cycle operates through four reversible processes: two isothermal and two adiabatic. Although real engines cannot achieve Carnot efficiency due to practical limitations and irreversibilities, the Carnot cycle serves as a benchmark for evaluating the performance of actual heat engines. Other cycles, like the Otto or Diesel cycles, are commonly used in practice, but they are less efficient than the Carnot cycle.


What are the differene between stirling cycle and carnot cycle?

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.

What makes a Carnot cycle unique?

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.


Limitations of the Carnot cycle for?

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.


Why is carnot cycle not suitable as an ideal cycle for all power producing cyclic devices?

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.
