Let the engine cylinder contain m kg of air at its original condition represented by point 1 on the p-v and T-s diagrams. thermodynamic process. The work done W = Q − ΔU, W = 0 − ΔU ⇒ W = −ΔU, (Q = 0, as no heat transfer) As we are in the second process of the cycle then, W 2 = −ΔU 2 ⇒ Work done for curve BC on the PV diagram.
The working fluid of a propulsion system is a gas. The engine developed by Carnot has air (which is assumed to work as a perfect gas) as its working substance enclosed in a cylinder, in which a frictionless piston A moves.

Area under a curve in a TS diagram represents heat transfer involved in the process. An ideal gas is used in the cylinder as a working substance.It is an infinite thermal capacity heat reservoir at a fixed high-temperature Infinite thermal capacity means during adding and subtraction of heat from the reservoir does not change its temperature It is a second heat reservoir, which has also infinite heat capacity at a fixed low-temperature A perfectly Non-Conducting stand is used during operations in the Carnot cycle process. After this, the reversed Carnot cycle worked as a refrigerator.The second law of thermodynamics not violated here.But in the case of a refrigerator or reverse Carnot cycle, This is a clear violation of the second law of thermodynamics.As the heat can not transfer by itself from a lower temperature to higher temperature, without any external agency.Therefore in the case of a refrigerator, some external work is done to transfer heat from a low temp body to a high temp body.For refrigerator, this work is performed by the compressor of the refrigerator by the use of electricity.The efficiency of the refrigerator is measured in terms of the Coefficient of performance.The coefficient of performance is the ratio of the amount of heat absorbed from the sink to the work done by an external agency.The efficiency of all heat engines cannot be more than Find, how many calories of heat are discarded to the room? The adiabatic compression is represented by the curve 4-1 on p-v and T-s diagram.
