3.1.1 Basic cycle

While in practice it is impossible to realize isotherms in the case of a gas engine, as in the case of a Carnot engine, it becomes quite feasible if a two-phase fluid is used. Indeed, in the two-phase domain, any isobaric (easy to realize in an approximate way in a heat exchanger) is at the same time isothermal (
