Carnot Game Description
Carnot Game is an engaging experience centered around the Carnot Cycle, where the participant needs to alternate among three thermal sources (hot, insulator, and cold) to optimize the work applied to the piston of a cylinder. The objective is to maintain the piston functioning within the perfect 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.
The player needs to press the button to shift between the thermal sources of the system, remembering to execute the transitions at the correct times to prevent the piston from getting stuck or the cylinder from bursting. The Carnot cycle is comprised of four thermodynamic processes.
