中:The Carnot cycle is composed of four reversible processes -two isothermal and two adiabatic -and it can be executed either in a closed or a steady-flow system. Consider a closed system that consist of a gas contained in an adiabatic piston-cylinder device. The insulation of the cylinder head is such that it may be removed to bring the cylinder into contact with reservoirs to provide heat transfer.
