Definition: Carnot Cycle

1. A cycle (of expansion and compression) of an idealized reversible heat engine that does work without loss of heat.

Specialty Definitions: Carnot Cycle

Domain	Definitions
Aerospace	An idealized reversible thermodynamic cycle. The Carnot cycle consists of four stages: (a) an isothermal expansion of the gas at temperature T1; (b) an adiabatic expansion to temperature T2; (c) an isothermal compression at temperature T2; (d) an adiabatic compression to the original state of the gas to complete the cycle. See Carnot engine, thermodynamic efficiency.In a Carnot cycle, the net work done is the difference between the heat inputQ1at higher temperatureT1and the heat extractedQ2at the lower temperatureT2.

Energy	An ideal heat engine (conceived by Sadi Carnot) in which the sequence of operations forming the working cycle consists of isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and adiabatic compression back to its initial state. (references)
