    Introduction The Carnot cycle, named after Sadi Carnot who introduced it in 1824, is a theoretical thermodynamic cycle that provides the maximum possible efficiency a heat engine can achieve operating between two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures. It’s an idealized process that assumes no friction, perfectly insulated components, and other ideal conditions. The Carnot Cycle…

    Introduction An adiabatic process in thermodynamics is one in which no heat is exchanged between a system and its surroundings. The word “adiabatic” comes from Greek roots meaning “impassable,” referring to the heat transfer. This concept is of paramount importance in the study of thermodynamics, heat engines, and atmospheric physics. Adiabatic Condition The condition for…
