According to The Berkeley Review section on the Carnot Engine:
"1. A material that is normally a gas at room temperature and pressure is compressed into a liquid. Condensation is an exothermic process, so the material heats up and finishes as a liquid at higher temperature and pressure than it originally had."
The above description is for a counterclockwise path plotted on a Pressure v. Temperature graph. I don't understand how an exothermic process, in which the...
