열역학 Heating Engine 예비 보고서 (영문)

1. Objectives

isothermal, adiabatic, isochoric, and isobaric processes. Each of these processes plays a crucial role in the overall performance of the engine, and a detailed examination reveals how changes in temperature and pressure affect the work output. This knowledge allows for a deeper comprehension of the second law of thermodynamics, which asserts that energy transformations are not 100 percent efficient due to inherent losses, often in the form of waste heat. Additionally, the experiment aims to familiarize participants with the concept of the Carnot cycle, which serves as an idealized model for understanding maximum efficiency limits of heat engines operating between two thermal reservoirs. By calculating the efficiency of various real-world engines and comparing it with the theoretical efficiency predicted by the Carnot cycle, one can appreciate the practical limitations and challenges in the design and operation of real engines. The experimentation also intends to eval
