If the carnot cycle is represented on a graph of pressure of the gas against its volume a p v diagram we get a clear view of how much work is done in a complete cycle remember that the work done when a gas changes volume, at constant pressure, is given by. The cycle begins with a gas, colored yellow on the figure, which is confined in a cylinder, colored blue.
Stirling engines are often described as reversible, but this requires a special kind of process. In order to be truly isothermal, such a process would have to take place over an infinite time period in order for perfect thermal equilibrium to be maintained. When plotted on a pressurevolume diagram, the isothermal processes follow the isotherm lines for the gas, adiabatic processes move between isotherms and the area bounded by. T 3 t 4 isotherm t 2 t 1 isotherm pvk constant pvk constant. I listed them here, just to remind you what they are. We will use a p v diagram to plot the various processes in the carnot cycle.

If you are aware of the kind of process, you will also be aware of how the properties like pressure,volume, temperature. If the process is reversible, as it is for a carnot cycle, the area under the curve represents work output during expansion i and ii and work inpu. The gas at temperature t h expands reversibly and isothermally from state 2 to state 3. Heat naturally flows from high temperature to low temperature but not the other way around.

Carnot cycle changes the energy available in the form of heat to produce useful reversibleadiabatic isotropic and other processes. Clockwise cycles on pv diagrams always represent heat engines. In a carnot cycle a working fluid takes in heat reversibly from a reservoir heat source at a constant higher temperature, t 1, expands adiabatically and reversibly to a constant lower temperature, t 2, gives up heat reversibly to a reservoir heat sink at t 3 t 2, and is then compressed reversibly and adiabatically to its original state t 4 t 1. This is a combination of reversible isothermal and adiabatic expansion and compression of a perfect gas. From that data, the cells in the second grid are updated, and pressurevolume and temperatureentropy diagrams are generated. The carnot cycle forms a closed loop on a pv diagram a plot of pressure vs.
