In feynman's description for the ratchet pawl system he gets the efficiency for the system to be same as he efficiency in the carnot cycle. I am not able to understand or if its correct that the process could be visualized as carnot cycle. Pls explain.
 
Welcome to PF;
it is not the same process as a carnot cycle - it just has the same efficiency.
