what is meant by carnot cycle and by carnot engine
Answers
Carnot theorem: The efficiency of Carnot’s heat engine depends only on the temperature of source (T1) and temperature of sink(T2), and heat supplied (Q1) i.e., η= W/ Q1 = 1 – T2/ T1
(The efficiency of engine is defined as the ratio of work done to the heat supplied.)
Carnot stated that no heat engine working between two given temperatures of source and sink can be more efficient than a perfectly reversible engine (Carnot engine) working between the same two temperatures. Carnot’s reversible engine working between two given temperatures is considered to be the most efficient engine.

Explanation:
The Carnot cycle is a theoretical ideal thermodynamic cycle proposed by French physicist Sadi Carnot in 1824 and expanded upon by others in the 1830s and 1840s. ... When a system is taken through a series of different states and finally returned to its initial state, a thermodynamic cycle is said to have occurred
