Right Answer is: B

SOLUTION

Carnot cycle is one of the best-known reversible cycles. The Carnot cycle is composed of four reversible processes.

  • Reversible Isothermal Expansion (process 1-2)
  • Reversible adiabatic expansion (process 2-3)
  • Reversible isothermal compression (process 3-4)
  • Reversible adiabatic compression (process 4-1)
