The Carnot cycle is an ideal thermodynamic cycle that provides the maximum efficiency possible for a heat engine operating between two heat reservoirs. It consists of two isothermal and two adiabatic processes, with heat absorbed from a hot reservoir in one isothermal process and released to a cold reservoir in the other, and no net transfer of heat occurring in the adiabatic processes. The efficiency of a Carnot cycle depends only on the temperatures of the hot and cold reservoirs.
