written by Michael Fowler and Jacquie Hui Wan Ching
This site shows the fundamentals of the Carnot Cycle through a Flash simulation. Using a Pressure vs Volume (PV) plot the user observes how the cycle is carried out by different types of compressions and expansions. The simulation also includes an engine, constituted of a piston and a rod, illustrating the various processes in a Carnot Cycle.

Please note that this resource requires Flash.
