Classification of Thermodynamic Cycles! Thermodynamic Cycle # I. Carnot Cycle: It consists of two isothermal processes and two isentropic processes. This cycle is represented on temperature-entropy and pressure-volume diagrams as shown in fig. 2-34. Consider one kg of air at temperature T1 as the working fluid in the engine cylinder. Let point 1 (fig. 2-34) represent the state of the [...]
