Carnot_Engine-Cycle_Simulator

The Carnot cycle is the most efficient theoretical heat engine cycle. This simulator lets you explore how temperature, volume, and pressure interact in real-time with:

  • 📊 Live PV and TS diagrams
  • 🔄 Animated piston showing the cycle
  • ⚙️ Real-time parameter adjustment
  • 📈 Calculated efficiency and work output

Perfect for physics students, teachers, and anyone curious about thermodynamics!
