Carnot cycle |
Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
Carnot cycleSeries of changes in the physical condition of a gas in a reversible heat engine, necessarily in the following order: (1) isothermal expansion (without change of temperature), (2) adiabatic expansion (without change of heat content), (3) isothermal compression, and (4) adiabatic compression. The principles derived from a study of this cycle are important in the fundamentals of heat and thermodynamics. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The lack of success was due to the engine cycle being unable to accomplish its maximum output through only 360 degrees of motion. Designed to optimize engine cycle time and increase device productivity, the imageRUNNER 200L's print controller technology is supported by 3. Based on an evolutionary improvement of the diesel engine cycle, the new Limited-Temperature Cycle engine-control operating system achieves NOx compliance below 1. |
