13.3 The Carnot Cycle and the Efficiency of Engines Carnot Cycle

Explanation: The simulation illustrates the concepts of Carnot cycle and Carnot engine as discussed in Section 13.3. The diagram to the left is an illustration of a Carnot engine as shown in Figure 13.9. Note the color scheme used. The surroundings are the same color as the gas on isothermal processes only. The corresponding Carnot cycle diagram is shown to the right.
