A TS-Diagram. (a) Graph a Carnot cycle, plotting Kelvin temperature vertically and entropy horizontally. This is called a temperature-entropy diagram, or T.S-diagram. (b) Show that the area under any curve representing a reversible path in a temperature-entropy diagram represents the heal absorbed by the system. (c) Derive from your diagram the expression for the thermal efficiency of a Carnot cycle. (d) Draw a temperature-entropy diagram for the Stirling cycle described. Use this diagram to relate the efficiencies of the Carnot and Stirling cycles.
