The "tricarboxylic acid cycle", "Krebs cycle" and "citric acid cycle" are all names that refer to the same process involving carbon molecules being converted into carbon dioxide and releasing energy More information available here: https://www.britannica.com/science/tricarboxylic-acid-cycle

To give a bit more information, the Calvin cycle is something that occurs in photosynthesis, a process involving carbon dioxide as a reactant, rather than a product, in order to store energy in the form of glucose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_cycle#Products
