Brief Review: Carnot Principle and<br />
Kelvin Scale<br />
Carnot Principle: All reversible heat<br />
engines operating between the same two<br />
reservoirs have the same efficiency.<br />
This means:<br />
Ratio heat transfer from hot and to cold<br />
reservoirs is equal to the ratio of the<br />
absolute temperatures of the two<br />
reservoirs.<br />
This also leads to Kelvin scale of absolute<br />
temperature.<br />
