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.
Heat
A definition of the term heat with links to related topics such as the first law of thermodynamics. Includes examples and questions.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
A general description of the second law with ideas of entropy and quotes from some scientists. Non Mathematical description. The site also includes recent book reviews
NTNU Virtual Physics Laboratory
Useful simulations (applets) on various Physics topics including mechanics, dynamics, waves, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, light, and optics with links to other sites.
Ludwig Boltzmann
Ludwig Boltzmann (1844 - 1906) work related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics which he derived from the principles of mechanics in the 1890s.
Adiabatic Process
An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is gained or lost by the system. The first law of thermodynamics with Q=0 shows that all the change in internal energy is in the form of work done.
Educational Links
A set of links to educational sites about classical and quantum thermodynamics and related mathematical techniques
Data & Property Calculation Sites
The site gives links to sites holding data tables, and calculating software for chemical engineering, with emphasis on thermodynamics.
Physics Problems
Physics problems and solutions (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermodynamics)
