We may replace the actualdiagram by a series of simple cyclesmade up of isothermals and adia-batics, so drawn that… … Fig. 25. of the change of entropyzero, as before. But byenough together we maythe perimeter approach that of the actual diagram asnearly as we please, and we may therefore conclude that theintegration for the changes of entropy for that cycle is also zero.Maximum Efficiency. — In order that heat…
