Question 667: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

The first operation involved in a Carnot cycle is

Accepted Answer

The Carnot cycle is composed of four reversible processes:
$	extbf{Isothermal Expansion}$ at the high reservoir temperature, where the system absorbs heat and expands.
$	extbf{Adiabatic Expansion}$, during which the system continues to expand without heat exchange, and its temperature drops.
$	extbf{Isothermal Compression}$ at the low reservoir temperature, where the system releases heat as it is compressed.
$	extbf{Adiabatic Compression}$, where the system is compressed without heat exchange, raising its temperature back to the original state.
Since the cycle starts with the process of isothermal expansion, the correct answer is:
Option A: isothermal expansion.

Answer

Answer

adiabatic expansion.
