Special Processes of an Ideal Gas
Java Applet simulating isobaric, isovolumetric or isothermal expansions of an ideal gas
Temperature and Thermal Properties
Good revision guide aimed at UK A level standard, covers topics such as temperature scales, heat capacity, gas laws etc.
Particle Speed And Temperature
Demonstration of how temperature, pressure and volume affects the motion of gas particles in a balloon. NB. You can 'pop' the balloon!!
Applied thermodynamics
Describes the laws of thermodynamics, and applications such as gas turbines and air conditioning.
Spectra of Gas Discharges
A simple selection of images of emission spectra from various elements. The images are high quality and "important" elements such as H, He and Na are included.
Brownian Motion Java Applet
A simple computer program for simulating Brownian motion of up to 4 gas particles at different speeds. A good site for school students to simulate Brownian motion.
Kinetic theory simulation
The site gives a practical demonstration on the collisions between gas molecules by varying the temperature and volume. Java applet.
Thermodynamics / pressure chamber.
Allows you to perform gas law experiments including density / molecular weight variations. A very good site for demonstrating variables in the gas laws.
