Great observation, Eakus! 💡 In practice, a perfectly reversible Carnot engine is impossible because it would require infinitely slow processes to maintain thermal equilibrium and zero friction, which we just can’t achieve in the real world. It serves as a theoretical 'gold standard' for maximum efficiency—a concept that paved the way for modern engine design. If you're into 3D visualizations of such mechanisms, check out my profile! 🚀🛠️"

I wonder if it’s actually practical to build

What was he using for study materials for the 3 years he studied heat engines....given that these were a relatively new invention and mass publication was difficult in those days?

Thermal energy transfers. Not heat. That’s the caloric view of heat
