What is Carnot cycle?

The Carnot cycle is a theoretical ideal thermodynamic cycle . It provides an upper limit on the efficiency that any classical thermodynamic engine can achieve during the conversion of heat into work, or conversely, the efficiency of a refrigeration system in creating a temperature difference by the application of work to the system. It is not an actual thermodynamic cycle but is a theoretical construct.

What is kelvin Plank Statement?

It is impossible to construct a device that operates in a thermodynamic cycle and produce no effect other than work and exchange of heat, while operating with single thermal reservoir.
