Refrigerators and heat pumps are described. Their operation is explained and the variables which improve their efficiency is discussed.

This site from the Encyclopedia Wikipedia provides brief biographical information on German physicist and mathematician Rudolf Clausius including an image, hyperlinked terms, and external links.

Nothing can happen without energy. Here you can learn about the many different ways that energy makes things happen.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Move the chemical reaction along, and observe the overall change in enthalpy for each reaction in the simulation. After the activity, answer one challenge question to check for understanding.

An indexing page for the HyperPhysics site. This page includes a concept map of links to pages that contain information related to blackbody radiation. Each individual page consists of informative graphics and clear explanations.

Using understandable words and exceptional graphics, this page describes the transfer of energy by means of the convection process. Contains several links to related topics.

This simulation allows students to interact with different components of a complex real world phenomenon. The simulation shown is of a 4-stroke internal combustion engine. The thermodynamic cycle being simulated is the Otto cycle, which...
