Question

What is the area enclosed by the cycle area of the Carnot cycle illustrating on a T-s diagram?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Carnot cycle:

  Carnot cycle is the ideal cycle for all working engine .Carnot cycle all processes are reversible.It have fore process Out of two are constant temperature process and other two are isentropic process(reversible adiabatic).

We know that area under T-s diagram represents the heat.

So $Q=\int Tds$

From cycle we can say that

$q_{in}=T_2\left ( s_2-s_1 \right )$

$q_{out}=T_1\left ( s_2-s_1 \right )$
