An ideal gas forms the working substance of a Carnot engine, and is taken around the Carnot cycle. We form the integral: \(I=\int\dfrac{dQ}{T},\)
where \(dQ\) is the heat supplied to the gas and \(T\) is the temperature of the gas. The integral is evaluated over the entire cycle. The value of the integral \(I\) is:
where \(dQ\) is the heat supplied to the gas and \(T\) is the temperature of the gas. The integral is evaluated over the entire cycle. The value of the integral \(I\) is:
| 1. | zero |
| 2. | negative |
| 3. | positive |
| 4. | non-negative(positive or zero) |
