B4 activity: Cyclic processes

Let"s take it up a gear. In this activity you will learn how a cyclic process can result in net work being done and have an opportunity to investigate the "rectangular" cycle. Heat engines will be represented with a flow diagram and you will be able to derive the equation for thermal efficiency. Getting into some even more real-world physics, the Carnot cycle and refrigerators will be explained.
