Carnot Game Casual Physics

Carnot Game Description

Carnot Game is an engaging game centered around the Carnot Cycle, where the participant must switch between three thermal sources (hot, insulator, and cold) to optimize the work performed on the piston of a cylinder. The aim is to maintain the piston functioning within the optimal Carnot cycle, executing transitions between sources at the appropriate moments to prevent the cylinder from bursting or freezing. The nearer the player is to the Carnot cycle, the greater their score and advancement.

Game Instructions

The player must click the button to switch between the thermal sources of the system remembering to make the transitions at the right moments to avoid the piston jamming or the cylinder exploding The Carnot cycle consists of four thermodynamic processes
