Carnot's theorem <All reversible engines operating between the same two constant temperatures tH and t have the same efficienc y An y irreversible engine operating between the same two fixed temperatures will have an efficiency less than this
“All reversible engines operating between the same two constant temperatures TH and TL have the same efficiency. Any irreversible engine operating between the same two fixed temperatures will have an efficiency less than this.” Carnot’s theorem
