Chambers: Simple Chamber

Quickstart Up to two chambers can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. The second, lower, chamber is only available once gthe first one is placed. There are 3 types of chambers available: a simple chamber, a chamber with a piston, and a one-dimensional chamber. Once a chamber has …

Particles

Quickstart By default, one particle type is available, corresponding to Nitrogen gas. More particle types can be added, and modified, in the Particles tab on the right of the experiment builder. Chemical reactions can be defined in the same tab. Properties Interaction rate Units: 1/s In ETHermodynamics, particles can exchange heat with each other. This …

Particle Emitters

Quickstart A particle emitter can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. Particle emitters add particles to your system at the start of the experiment. Once a particle emitter has been added, its settings can be accessed on the right of the experiment builder. You can define the number …

Chambers: Chamber with Piston

Quickstart Up to two chambers can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. The second, lower, chamber is only available once the first one is placed. There are 3 types of chambers available: a simple chamber, a chamber with a piston, and a one-dimensional chamber. Once a chamber has …

Connector

Quickstart A connector can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. It is only available once two chambers have been added to the system. Without a connector, the two chambers are isolated from each other. A connector allows to lift this isolation. Once a connector has been added, its …

Stages

Quickstart Stages can be used to change parameters of your system over time. To add a new stage, press the plus-button on the bottom left of the experiment builder. To navigate between stages, click the timeline at the bottom. Scene and particle settings, as well as particle emitters, do not change over time. All other components …

Scene

Quickstart The Scene settings can be accessed on the right of the experiment builder in the Scene tab. The settings available here mostly affect the simulation quality and performance of the system. If your experiments are very unstable or take a long time to compute, you might want to check these settings. Properties Time Simulation …

Chambers: 1D-Chamber

Quickstart Up to two chambers can be added using the button on the left side of the experiment builder. If a one-dimensional chamber is added to the system, no other components (except particle emitters) can be added. There are 3 types of chambers available: a simple chamber, a chamber with a piston, and a one-dimensional …
