Carnot Game Casual Physics

Carnot Game Description

Carnot Game is an engaging game centered around the Carnot Cycle, wherein the participant must shift between three thermal sources (hot, insulator, and cold) to optimize the work performed on the piston within a cylinder. The objective is to maintain the piston functioning within the optimal 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 must press the button to change between the thermal sources of the system, keeping in mind to make the transitions at the correct times to prevent the piston from seizing or the cylinder from exploding. The Carnot cycle comprises four thermodynamic processes.
