The Carnot Cycle, Reversibility and Entropy [PDF]

Entropy, 2021
The Carnot cycle and the attendant notions of reversibility and entropy are examined. It is shown how the modern view of these concepts still corresponds to the ideas Clausius laid down in the nineteenth century.

Action and Entropy in Heat Engines: An Action Revision of the Carnot Cycle [PDF]

Entropy, 2021
Despite the remarkable success of Carnot’s heat engine cycle in founding the discipline of thermodynamics two centuries ago, false viewpoints of his use of the caloric theory in the cycle linger, limiting his legacy.

Entropy, Carnot Cycle, and Information Theory [PDF]

Entropy, 2018
The fundamental intuition that Carnot had in analyzing the operation of steam machines is that something remains constant during the reversible thermodynamic cycle. This invariant quantity was later named “entropy„ by Clausius.

Quantum signatures in the quantum Carnot cycle [PDF]

New Journal of Physics, 2020
The Carnot cycle combines reversible isothermal and adiabatic strokes to obtain optimal efficiency, at the expense of a vanishing power output. Quantum Carnot-analog cycles are constructed and solved, operating irreversibly with positive power.

Revisiting and comparing the Carnot Cycle and the Otto Cycle [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física
The reversibility of the Carnot Cycle makes it the most efficient thermodynamic cycle to convert energy as heat into work operating between two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures.

Carnot cycle for an oscillator [PDF]

European Journal of Physics, 2001
Carnot established in 1824 that the efficiency of cyclic engines operating between a hot bath at absolute temperature $T_{hot}$ and a bath at a lower temperature $T_{cold}$ cannot exceed $1-T_{cold}/T_{hot}$.

Entropy, Carnot Cycle and Information Theory, Part 2 [PDF]

Entropy
This second part of this companion paper the Carnot cycle is analyzed trying to investigate the similarities and differences between a framework related to thermodynamics and one related to information theory. The parametric Schrodinger equations are the
