Carnot Cycle Net Work Done Calculator

Carnot Cycle Net Work Done Equation

$$ W_{net} = Q_H - Q_C $$ where:

W_net = Net work done during one cycle (Dimensionless)

Q_H = Heat absorbed from the hot reservoir (J)

Q_C = Heat rejected to the cold reservoir (J)

Calculator

Property to Calculate:

Net work done during one cycle (W_net):

Heat absorbed from the hot reservoir (Q_H):

Heat rejected to the cold reservoir (Q_C):

Equation Assumptions

The process is reversible.
Heat transfer is isothermal.
Compression and expansion processes are adiabatic.
Working fluid behaves as an ideal gas.
