3.1 Efficiency of a reversible thermal machine
S. Carnot established, in 1824, the founding concepts governing the evolution of the maximum efficiency of a thermal machine operating between two sources. Thermodynamic efficiency of the motor is the ratio of work collected during a cycle and the quantity of heat received during the same cycle, or,...
