Pictured: A thermoelectric cooler system, consisting of cold water, hot water, and a Peltier cooler.
Hot water was poured into one container, while the other held cold water. The Peltier cooler was then placed as shown above, which allowed power to be produced and rotate the wheel.
For this experiment, a battery pumped 6W of power into the cooler. The result was that one side warmed up, while the other cooled. The reason for this is because the Peltier cooler acted as a heat pump, transferring heat from one side to another.
Work done for the "Constant for an Adiabatic Expansion" activity. The goal was to derive a relationship in an adiabatic expansion between P and V, and heat capacities C.
Calculations for the "Work in an Adiabatic Expansion" activity where we had to derive an equation and solve it for work done by a gas.
Work and calculations for the "Carnot Cycle Analysis" activity.
Answer to when would be the best time to drive in order to maximize car efficiency.
Model engine used to demonstrate the combustion process.
Animated diagram showing how an engine takes in air, combusts it, and then releases it out of the system.
