But I can elaborate. | |

If the path is not adiabatic, heat transfer will be occurring at these intermediate temperatures using reservoirs at these intermediate temperatures, which is contrary to the use of only two reservoirs. | |
| Jan 22, 2020 at 14:39 | comment | added | Bob D | @ChetMiller Are you thinking details of the adiabatic processes for ideal gas? | |
| Jan 22, 2020 at 14:02 | comment | added | Chet Miller | I think you should add a little more detail on the 2nd bullet. | |
