Carnot Game Overview
The Carnot Game immerses players in an engaging experience centered around the principles of the Carnot Cycle. In this game, players must strategically manage their interactions with three distinct thermal sources: hot, insulator, and cold. The objective is to optimize the work performed on the piston within a cylinder.
Success in the game hinges on performing timely transitions between these sources to ensure the piston operates efficiently within the ideal Carnot cycle. Players must remain vigilant, as improper timing can lead to catastrophic outcomes, such as the cylinder overheating or freezing.
Achieving closer alignment with the Carnot cycle enhances both the player’s score and their overall progression in the game.
