Makeup: Heat Engines


Here a heat difference between two different regions of water is used to create an electrical current to power the hypno-disc


Here is a device we will use to view the different type of thermodynamic processes that occur.

Here are our predictions for what will occur when certain conditions are changed on the system.

This is the Volume V Pressure graph for the device

Knowing what was changed and what type of processes occurred between points, we were able to find the the change in energy, heat added/lost, and work done between points

Gauss' Law

 
Here we drew flux lines going from charges. Picking different regions, some with 0, 1, 2, etc charges, we figured out net flux and net charge. We came up with a relationship: the difference between flux lines in and out of a region is proportional to the charge within the region.

For the next part, we begin to put things in a microwave and see how the electromagnetic radiation would effect them. A lighted match created plasma balls, a fork did nothing, and a CD had damage on the surface of it. The match created plasma balls because of the water vapor interacting with the electromagnetic radiation. Also, the light bulb we put in lit up.
Here we derived equations and solved problems with the knowledge we have learned thus far
