Ideal Heat Engine: Efficiency and the Carnot Limit

Explore a heat engine through Qh, Qc, W, efficiency, and the Carnot limit set by hot and cold reservoir temperatures.

All Simulations

Apollo Parachute Descent

Configure Apollo’s parachute descent and see how deployment timing and Euler’s method affect a safe splashdown.

Apollo: Re-entry

Test Apollo return trajectories, hit the safe corridor, and see why mathematics and computation mattered for bringing the capsule home.
