Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a Carnot cycle, isothermal processes (both compression and expansion) must be carried out extremely slowly (quasi-statically) to ensure that the system remains in thermal equilibrium with the heat reservoir. This allows the process to be reversible, which is a key characteristic of the Carnot cycle. Adiabatic processes, on the other hand, do not require heat exchange with the surroundings, so the speed of the process is less critical in maintaining reversibility.
