textbooks say about the cycle. There is nothing special about one cycle being first in efficiency -- it is the universal tie that astounds. This tie ensures that the
Clausius definition of entropy is valid. Thanks to the Clausius theorem, the we know that the integral of dQ/T is a state variable because all reversible engines acting on any substance integrate dQ/T to the same value. I NEVER understood that in my 25 years of college teaching. Regarding the rasterization of my jpg images, I will see if we can get somebody from IT to help me with that. Most of my jpegs were created from MS word raster images. For some reason they won't save as gifs. Merry Christmas! --

my Thermo class, but as you have been the only person who has approached the article professionally, I was wondering if there was anything in the article that you found incorrect that I might be able to change. I feel like everyone else has been deleted it because they disagree with it. Thanks for your help

Your words about me turning stubs into first-rate articles really flatter me. Sadly I have left the field of physics so I no longer maintain these pages. The only minor problem with your change is that your new image is a raster image rather than vector one. It is considered best practice to use SVG

Well it wasn't an idea that was originally mine, this is a concern of many professionals. I felt I had an adequate amount of sources to back up the information I was presenting. Two other people, however, have removed it saying it is incorrect, but I feel they are either reading too much into it or

A few days ago I posted an article on the Second Law of
Thermodynamics Page. You told me that the article should be moved to a different article or section. I retitled the article but since then have received a lot of criticism for the article. To be completely honest, the article was a project for

I looked back at your original source and concluded that your image was a significant improvement over the originals. I had to ponder your image for quite a while before I realized it could be improved. The amazing thing about the Carnot cycle isn't that it is the most efficient, which all most
