    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
