This thermodynamics / physics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the carnot cycle and carnot heat engines. It explains how to calculate the maximum efficiency of heat engine which is equivalent to the thermal efficiency of an ideal carnot heat engine. This video contains energy flow diagrams that will help you to visualize the transfer of heat energy from the hot reservoir into the heat engine and then to the cold reservoir. This tutorial also discusses how to calculate the mechanical work generated by a carnot engine. It also covers the four steps of the carnot cycle which consists of an isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression and adiabatic compression. This thermodynamics contains all of the formulas and equations needed to solve the practice problems presented in this tutorial.
