User controls allow changes in thefollowing parameters: the number of cycles, amplitude, and frequency of the transmitted pulse;the delay of the received signal; and the type and amplitude of the noise. Additional controlsallow the user to have the program generate a new noise sample or display a histogram of thenoise in a pop-up window.

In mostcases, the textbook discusses each of them and shows the process in a P-v and/or a T-s diagram.The diagrams can help the student to understand and memorize these cycles. However, thestudents may become confused to remember these curves because all the curves are quite new tothem. To help the students in learning these cycles, it is seen that all the well-known reversiblecycles (Carnot, Ericsson and Stirling) can be integrated into one T-s diagram (or a P-v diagram).Figure 1 shows the individual diagrams of the
