Simulations and Interactive Charts
Below is a set of charts that allow you to experiment with thermodynamic processes.
The charts plot two thermodynamic properties, and at any point of interest tabulate
other system properties. For example, on the pV charts ask yourself about the magnitudes of
heat and work addition during the process, and which properties (if any) are constant. Simulations show charts plus the direction of energy flows on plant diagrams.
