ThermoD Carnot Cycle

What is the formula for the efficiency of a Carnot engine?

η = 1 - (T_cold / T_hot)

What must the temperatures in the Carnot efficiency formula be in?

Kelvin

How is heat absorbed from the hot reservoir during isothermal expansion calculated?

Q_hot = nRT_hot ln(V_2/V_1)

How is heat rejected to the cold reservoir during isothermal compression calculated?

Q_cold = nRT_cold ln(V_3/V_4)

What is the relationship between the volume ratios during adiabatic processes in the Carnot cycle?

V_2/V_1 = V_3/V_4

What is the net work output of a Carnot engine formula?

W_net = Q_hot - Q_cold = η · Q_hot

What is the Coefficient of Performance (COP) for a Carnot refrigerator?

COP_refrigerator = Q_cold / W_net = T_cold / (T_hot - T_cold)
