In class, we're being introduced to thermodynamics, and one of the topics is heat engines.
Steam engines were also mentioned.
Carot engines also entered the pic. They are described as ideal systems. Exactly why are Carnot engines not "real" engines, or are not possible?
I'm sorry if these inquiries sound stupid.
Does anyone know of any good Internet sites on heat engines or any images that may help be understand better?
Thanks. :shy:
