    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/Physics_(Boundless)/14%3A_Thermodynamics/14.4%3A_Entropy
      The entropy of a system is a measure of its disorder and of the unavailability of energy to do work.
    • https://phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/University_Physics/University_Physics_(OpenStax)/University_Physics_II_-_Thermodynamics_Electricity_and_Magnetism_(OpenStax)/04%3A_The_Second_Law_of_Thermodynamics/4.06%3A_The_Carnot_Cycle
      The Carnot cycle is the most efficient engine for a reversible cycle designed between two reservoirs. The Carnot principle is another way of stating the second law of thermodynamics.

Furthermore, all engines employing only reversible processes have this same maximum efficiency when operating between the same given temperatures. The second law of thermodynamics can be restated in terms of the Carnot cycle, and so what Carnot actually discovered was this fundamental law.
