⚙️ Carnot Engine: Four Strokes, PV and TS Loops, and the Finite-Time Limit
Interactive 3D Carnot engine on a Blender-built bench: ideal gas with isothermal and adiabatic strokes, live PV and TS diagrams, refrigerator and heat-pump reversal, Curzon-Ahlborn finite-time efficiency, and four numerical checks including a molecular-dynamics adiabat.
