In this lecture, we introduce the Carnot cycle. We then show that the efficiency of a heat engine operating on a Carnot cycle is independent of the working substance. Therefore, the efficiency of the Carnot engine is a function of the temperatures of the high and low temperatures reservoirs only. (c) Supreet Singh Bahga, IIT Delhi
