    The Carnot cycle is considered the most efficient heat engine cycle possible according to physical laws. It consists of two isothermal processes where heat is transferred at a constant temperature, and two adiabatic processes where no heat is transferred. The Carnot cycle sets the theoretical maximum limit on the fraction of heat that can be converted to work. To approach this maximum efficiency, the engine processes must be reversible and involve no change in entropy, making the Carnot cycle an idealization since all real processes increase entropy to some extent.

    Carnot Cycle

    The most efficient heat engine cycle is the Carnot cycle, consisting of two isothermal
    processes and two adiabatic processes. The Carnot cycle can be thought of as the most
    efficient heat engine cycle allowed by physical laws. When the second law of
    thermodynamics states that not all the supplied heat in a heat engine can be used to do
    work, the Carnot efficiency sets the limiting value on the fraction of the heat which
    can be so used.

    In order to approach the Carnot efficiency, the processes involved in the heat engine
    cycle must be reversible and involve no change in entropy. This means that the Carnot
    cycle is an idealization, since no real engine processes are reversible and all real
    physical processes involve some increase in entropy.
