Bose-Einstein condensation is one of the most striking examples of macroscopic quantum effects. On-line at: http://www.novanet.net.au/~bente/BoseEinsteinJava.html 2-D gas applet This is a model of a two dimensional gas. The disks move with random motion around in this box with periodic boundary conditions. When one disk approaches another, it feels a square potential well of radius r. They may not overlap, that is, if one disk tries to move within a radius R<r of another, it encounters an infinitely tall potential barrier. By moving the slider control, one can adjust the temperature in the simulation. Stat Simulator Shows the energy in wave numbers as well as other graphs for different functions, energy levels and modes. Molecular Model for an Ideal Gas This java applet shows a microscopic model for an ideal gas. The pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container is a consequence of the collisions of the gas molecules with the walls. CPS: Java Applets The Center for Polymer Studies has developed a number of hands-on activities, laboratory experiments, and interactive visualization programs. These activities encourage students to explore how fundamentally random microscopic events can give rise to fractal macroscopic patterns. Current available Applets include: Unit 1: Monte Carlo Estimation of Pi Unit 2: Can You Beat Randomness? Unit 3: One-Dimensional Random Walk Unit 4: Two-Dimensional Random Walk Unit 5: The Anthill and Molecular Motion Unit 6: Diffusion Limited Aggregation Unit 7: The Self-Avoiding Walk Unit 8: The Polymer Simulation Unit 9: Fractal Coastlines Unit 10: Forest Fires and Percolation Unit 11: Movie Applet of Molecular Dynamics Simulations Solid State Physics: Problems and Solutions Over 50 problems with solutions in numerous different areas of solid states. There is also an index method in order to find the problem that you are looking for. Boundary Layers - Full Index This is a prototype teaching course for fluid dynamics which at present focusses specifically on the subject of Boundary Layers. Material on boundary layer theory and associated numerical methods is presented interactively. CFD packages are used within the courseware environment. The courseware is aimed at final year undergraduates & postgraduates as well as industrial users with a requirement for in-house training in fluid dynamics. NASA Observatorium Education-Reference Module-Thermal Infrared Thermal Remote Sensing: Measuring Emitted Infrared Energy NASA Observatorium Education-Reference Module-Multispectral Remote Sensing When sunlight falls upon the Earth's surfaces, the solar energy maybe reflected by, absorbed by, or transmitted through the surface materials. Absorbed energy usually heats the material. This heat may later be emitted as thermal radiation.
