Einstein Solid Temperature Demon Worksheet and Model

written by Spencer Wheaton

A worksheet that considers an Einstein solid in contact with a temperature demon (a single oscillator thermometer that exchanges energy with the Einstein solid). The combined solid-demon system is isolated.

The number of energy units in this system can be adjusted by editing the field in the main display. All of this energy is originally in the Einstein solid, but after interaction starts it is shared between the demon and the Einstein solid.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.6 of Java (JRE).
