Carnot Engine

Carnot Engine

Carnot engine is an ideal heat engine operating between two temperatures with maximum possible efficiency.

### Efficiency Formula

$$\eta=1-\frac{T_C}{T_H}$$

### Terminologies

- TH → Temperature of hot reservoir.

- TC → Temperature of cold reservoir.

### Conditions / Special Cases

Temperatures must be in Kelvin.

### Usage

- Used to calculate maximum engine efficiency.
