我们报告了处理卡诺效率和卡诺循环的指导性探究概念工作表（又名教程）背后的基本原理和初步结果。该教程是在缅因大学的高级热力学课程中进行的。本教程是三个教程序列中的第三个教程，旨在提高学生对熵及其应用的理解。最初的辅导前和辅导后评估数据表明，辅导指导提高了学生对热机和卡诺循环的理解。
We report the rationale behind and preliminary results from a guided‐inquiry conceptual worksheet (a.k.a. tutorial) dealing with Carnot’s efficiency and the Carnot cycle. The tutorial was administered in an upper‐level thermodynamics course at the University of Maine. The tutorial was implemented as the third in a three‐tutorial sequence designed to improve students’ understanding of entropy and its applications. Initial pre‐ and post‐tutorial assessment data suggest that student understanding of heat engines and the Carnot cycle improved as a result of tutorial instruction.
