Fresh Look and Understanding on Carnot Cycle
2014
Energy Procedia
Carnot cycle and theorem are major contributions of classical thermodynamics since proposed in 1824, while Carnot failed to prove it because of the influence of Caloric theory of heat. Then in 1850, Clausius confirmed Carnot theorem via reduction to absurdity and put forward the second law of thermodynamics. From then on, the theory that Carnot cycle is the one with the highest efficiency is generally accepted by scholars and regarded as the key premise or basis of thermodynamic analysis.
