PV = nRT
try it out!
purpose: provide students simulation of multivariable system (ideal gas law) and tools for modeling through multiuser environment. In this case, given a target pressure they can manipulate V (volume, by changing the chamber size), T (temperature), and n (number of gas moles). Chat features will provide group communication.
access: To enter the simulation you must provide a valid group name; choose from:
status: August 8, 2000 This is the second working prototype with a cool interface created in Strata 3D. The shockwave file weighs in at 131 k, but streams in after about 20% is loaded.
other features: Generic MU login that we can customize for any app we develop, allows HTML parameter defintion of target movie, group for user (assigned, entered by user, or random), and flags to show server/password field.
As an extension of our second version, this time around there are groups that compete against each other in the same environment, except they re trying to achieve different pressures. Each team manipulates one side of the chamber (volume) as well as shared controls for temperature and number of gas moles.
