a carnot engine does not exist. if it did it would be the perfect engine. it has little heat loss or anything. it is made up of two adiabatic curves and two isothermals.....It has amazing efficiency and the efficiency can be calculated through the equation

N = 1 - QL/Qh

N = thermal efficiency
QL = lower temp resiviour
Qh = higher temp resiviour

its referred to as the "ideal" engine.

The best engines on the earth right now I believe are turbine engines that go through one process all at once kinda.

Air---------> diffuser, compression, heat, ignites, work, exhaust, nozzle.........if that explains it

its fixable...not too bad but the damage is 4500-5000. I need a new fender, bumper, side quarter panel, fuel door, support member, air condenser and its all coming out of my pocket. the labor is insane!
