    Carnot Cycle and Thermodynamics Scale of Temperature

    Uploaded by

    Sourav Roy
    This document discusses the Carnot cycle and thermodynamic temperature scales. It explains that the Carnot cycle is the most efficient cycle and defines its efficiency. It also establishes two propositions about Carnot engines: that no engine can be more efficient than a reversible Carnot engine operating between the same reservoirs, and that all Carnot engines between the same reservoirs have the same efficiency. The document then demonstrates how the Carnot cycle can be used to define thermodynamic and ideal gas temperature scales and proves their equivalence. It concludes by discussing the unattainability of absolute zero temperature.

    Thermodynamic temperature scale

    Efficiency of a Carnot engine doesn’t depend on working


    substance :
    η = 1 − (Q2 /Q1 ) ⇒ Q1 /Q2 = f (T1 , T2 )

    Q1 ψ(T1 )
    ∴ =
    Q2 ψ(T2 )

    where ψ(T ) is any function of temperature.

    If a system undergoes a reversible isothermal process without


    transferring heat, that temperature is the absolute zero
    temperature. At this temperature isothermal & adiabatic
    processes become identical.
