Georgia State University: Hyper Physics: Heat Engine Cycle

Curated by ACT

The heat engine cycle is defined and discussed. So pressure-volume diagrams are introduced and their use in depicting the cycles of a heat engine is demonstrated. Informative graphics are accompanied by reason-filled explanations.
