Carnot Game challenges players to master the principles of the Carnot Cycle through dynamic, real-time decision-making. Set in a simulated engine environment, the objective is to strategically toggle between three thermal reservoirs—hot, insulating, and cold—to optimize mechanical work generated by a piston. Precision is critical: mistimed transitions cause catastrophic failure, either overheating the system into an explosion or allowing temperatures to plummet until operations halt. Success hinges on mirroring the theoretical efficiency of the Carnot cycle, with scores scaling based on how accurately players replicate its four-stage thermodynamics. Progress unlocks advanced scenarios that introduce variables like pressure fluctuations, testing adaptability while reinforcing core thermodynamic concepts through visceral, risk-reward gameplay.
