A Carnot cycle operates a follows:-

1) It receives thermal energy isothermally from some hot reservoir maintained at a constant high temperature TH

2) It rejects thermal energy isothermally to a constant low–temperature reservoir (T2). 

3) The change in temperature is reversible adiabatic process.

Such a cycle, which consist of two isothermal processes bounded by two adiabatic processes, is called Carnot cycle.
