Carnots Theorem
We introduced already the Carnot cycle with an ideal gas
Now we show:1 Energy efficiency of the Carnot cycle is independent of the working substance
2 Any cyclic process that absorbs heat at one temperature, and rejects heat at
one other temperature, and is reversible has the energy efficiency of a Carnot
cycle
