Thermodynamics: Notes
... processes are reversible. A process involving heat flow is made reversible by making the process isothermal. Thus, the reservoir is to be at temperature T1 + , while the working substance is to be at temperature T1, with being an infinitesimally small quantity. From (2), there is an inevitable “f ...
