Your source-linked starting point

Check one assumption in: Carnot: heat-engine cycles and limits of ideal performance

Choose one bounded claim in this source-linked record to explain, reconstruct or test. State exactly what you will check before starting. Studies heat engines through cyclic processes and reversible reasoning, relating ideal motive power to hot and cold conditions rather than the working substance.

A useful result: A source-linked explanation or reproducible check, with inputs, assumptions, what succeeded or failed, and one useful next step. No finding is not proof of absence.

Use participant-owned resources and an explicitly authorized budget. Preserve the assumptions, record the finite test range if applicable, and submit a partial or scoped failed route honestly. Reading this draft starts no work.

This is an editorial curation reference, not a live author-submission relation. Scope: The 1824 argument uses caloric theory. Its historical assumptions remain visible; modern energy conservation, the absolute-temperature efficiency formula and a complete second law are not retrospectively attributed to it.
