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.

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.

Identifying student difficulties with entropy, heat engines, and the Carnot cycle [PDF]
Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2015 [This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Upper Division Physics Courses.] We report on several specific student difficulties regarding the second law of thermodynamics in the context of heat engines within upper-division undergraduate thermal ...

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.

Carnot cycle for an oscillator [PDF]
European Journal of Physics, 2002 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 $1-T_{cold}/T_{hot}$.

Revisiting and comparing the Carnot Cycle and the Otto Cycle [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ensino de FísicaThe 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.

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.

A reassessment of the Carnot cycle and the concept of entropy [PDF]
Nature Precedings, 2008 It is argued that the Carnot cycle is a highly inaccurate representation of a steam engine, and that the net work obtained in its operation would be zero.

Numerically "exact" simulations of a quantum Carnot cycle: Analysis using thermodynamic work diagrams [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Physics, 2022 We investigate the efficiency of a quantum Carnot engine based on open quantum dynamics theory. The model includes time-dependent external fields for the subsystems controlling the isothermal and isentropic processes and for the system-bath (SB ...
