The internal combustion engine
The educational resource shows an interactive animation about the internal combustion engine: in real combustion engines, the energy is extracted from the combustion of some type of fuel, which has been injected into a cylinder, finely pulverised and mixed with oxygen. Then the combustible mixture is compressed and ignited to explode. That is why these engines are known as combustion engines.Área de conocimientoContexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections -
Joule´s experiment
The educational resource shows an interactive animation about Joule´s experiment: the mechanical energy of a mass falling from a certain height can be transformed into an increase in temperature inside a liquid.Área de conocimientoContexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections -
Carnot´s ideal engine
The educational resource shows an interactive animation about the Carnot's engine: it is a theoretical model, not a real one, but we can already see in it the fundamental characteristics of real heat engines.The system is based on the phenomena of the expansion and contraction of gases through heat gain and loss.Área de conocimientoContexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections -
Changes of state
In this educational resource you can check the next physical phenomenon: when there is a change of state in pure substances, the temperature remains constant.Contexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections -
Changes in water
The educational resource shows an interactive animation about changes in water: the change from a solid to a liquid is called fusion. The change from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation. When water boils it is called ebullition.Área de conocimientoContexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections -
Heat
The educational resource shows an interactive animation about the heat: heat is the transference of energy from one body to another.Contexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections -
Heat engines and machines
In this teaching unit you will learn: To understand the concept of a simple machine as an instrument which saves effort but not work. To understand the way in which energy from wind or water is converted into the mechanical energy of a circular movement. To assimilate the equivalence between mechanical energy and heat. To formulate the first and second law of thermodynamics in a simple way. To learn to use the mathematical formulae for these laws to make simple predictions about the working...Área de conocimientoTipo de recursoCollections -
Change of phase
The educational resource shows an interactive animation about the change of phase: solids melt when they are heated and liquids evaporate, changing to a gaseous state. If you increase the vibration of the molecules you can see how water changes phase.Contexto educativoTipo de recursoCollections
