A short note on Reitlinger thermodynamic cycles

Popular Physics 2015-10-05 v1

Abstract

It is well known that Carnot cycle is the thermodynamic cycle which has the best thermal efficiency. However, an entire class of cycles exists that can have the same maximum efficiency: this class is that of the regenerative Reitlinger cycles. Here we discuss them.
