Reversible or Irreversible Expansion or Compression (Interactive Simulation) @LearnChemE

Uploaded February 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Organized by textbook: learncheme.com Describes how to use a simulation that models expansion and compression in a piston-cylinder for isothermal and adiabatic processes, both reversible and irreversible. The simulation is at: learncheme.com/simulations/thermodynamics/thermo-1/reversible-irreversible-expansion-compression-work . Made by faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder, Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering.
