Carnot cycle

The Carnot cycle is the most efficient heat engine cycle invented to date, consisting of two isothermal and two adiabatic processes . It can be considered as the most efficient heat engine cycle allowed by physical laws when the second law of thermodynamics tells us that all the heat that is supplied in a heat engine cannot be used, the Carnot efficiency establishes the limit value of the fraction of heat that can be used . The Carnot cycle has the highest efficiencypossible of an engine based on the … Read more

Boltzmann constant

In the area of ​​science, we find many important definitions related to the area of physics . One of them is the physical constant , which represents the value of a physical quantity whose value is fixed in a certain system of units and which invariably prevails during physical processes over time. There are many physical constants, one of them is known as Boltzmann’s constant . What is Boltzmann’s constant? Boltzmann’s constant … Read more

Center of Gravity

We must understand that a body is a distribution form continuous of mass , and each of its parts involving the force of gravity . The center of gravity or centroid as it is also known, is the position where the net force of gravity acts , it is a point that is located in the place where the total weight of the body is concentrated . For an object that is symmetrical and homogeneous in shape , the center of gravity is … Read more
