The concept of internally reversible cycles was introduced in Section 2.7: these are sometimes known
as endoreversible cycles. The advantage of considering endoreversible cycles is that the area of the
cycle on a Ts diagram represe nts the work done by, or on, the fluid when it executes that cycle. If a
cycle is not endoreversible then the area on the T–s diagram of the cycle is not equivalent to the work
done. There are a number of important endoreversible cycles and these are introduced below.
3.1 HEAT ENGINES
3.1.1 CARNOT CYCLE
The Carnot cycle, as originally proposed, is both internally and externally reversible. ...
