Kako izračunati Carnot Efficiency

Kaj je Carnot Efficiency?

Carnot efficiency is the theoretical maximum efficiency of a heat engine operating between two temperature reservoirs. No real engine can exceed this limit.

Formula

The calculator applies η = 1 - (T_cold / T_hot)

Navodila po korakih

  1. 1Enter hot reservoir temperature (T_hot) and cold reservoir temperature (T_cold)
  2. 2The calculator applies η = 1 - (T_cold / T_hot)
  3. 3Results show maximum theoretical efficiency

Worked Examples

Vnos
T_hot = 600 K, T_cold = 300 K
Rezultat
η_max = 50%
Best possible performance

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using Celsius instead of Kelvin temperatures
  • Assuming actual engines approach Carnot efficiency

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't we achieve Carnot efficiency in real engines?

Real engines have friction, heat losses, and irreversible processes that reduce efficiency below the theoretical maximum.

Does Carnot efficiency depend on the working fluid?

No, Carnot efficiency depends only on the two reservoir temperatures, not on the engine type or working substance.
