1. Cycles  A series of processes which return a system to its initial state  Heat engine: receives heat; does work  Reversed cycle: cool or heat when work done on system

2. Limitations  > 100% thermal efficiency  Heat → cold?

3. Performance  Thermal efficiency  Coefficient of performance Cooling Heating

4. Carnot cycle  Ideal cycle  Four reversible processes 1 → 2 reversible, adiabatic compression 2→ 3 reversible, isothermal expansion 3→ 4 reversible, adiabatic expansion 4 → 1 reversible, isothermal compression

6. Carnot cycle  Thermal efficiency  Cooling & heating

7. Industrial cycles  Models compared to real cycles  Models compared to Carnot cycles  Heat engines Otto: SIIC Diesel: CIIC Brayton: gas turbine, jet engine Rankine: steam turbine  Reversed cycle Air conditioning-refrigeration Heat pump
