This procedure was introduced in its namesake's Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire and is the embodiment of his principle regarding efficiency, which is a form of the second law of thermodynamics. This process forms a rectangular circuit in T-S [tee ess] coordinates and has efficiency 1 – T2/T1 [one minus tee-two over tee-one], where T1 and T2 are the absolute tempera

This process forms a rectangular circuit in T-S [tee ess] coordinates and has efficiency 1 – T2/T1 [one minus tee-two over tee-one], where T1 and T2 are the absolute temperatures of its two reservoirs. For 10 points, identify the thermodynamic cycle named for a French engineer that is the most efficient possible given two heat reservoirs.
