Carnot cycle:
The Carnot cycle consists of 4 processes
- 1-2 isothermal heat addition
- 2-3 reversible adiabatic expansion
- 3-4 isothermal heat rejection
- 4-1 reversible adiabatic compression
A cycle is said to be reversible only when each process in a cycle is reversible.
Carnot cycle consists of 2 isothermal and 2 Reversible adiabatic (Isentropic) processes. An isothermal process is a very slow process and the adiabatic process is a very fast process and the combination of a slow process and fast process are very difficult.
So a Carnot cycle is also known as an impractical cycle. It is used only to compare other actual cycles.
Hence, Carnot and Rankine cycle differs in the heat addition process.
