A Carnot cycle consists of the following steps ?

Correct answer: A. Two isothermal and two isentropic

  • A. Two isothermal and two isentropic
  • B. Two isobaric and two isothermal
  • C. Two isochoric and two isobaric
  • D. Two isothermals and two isochoric

Explanation

A reversible Carnot cycle has two constant-temperature heat-transfer processes and two reversible adiabatic processes. Reversible adiabatic processes are isentropic, giving two isothermal and two isentropic steps.
