Carnot Recreation Description Carnot Recreation is an interactive game based mostly on the Carnot Cycle, the place the player should alternate between three thermal sources (scorching, insulator, and chilly) to maximize the work achieved on the piston of a cylinder. The goal is to maintain the piston working in the ultimate Carnot cycle, making the transitions between sources at the proper time to avoid the cylinder exploding or freezing. The nearer the participant is to the Carnot cycle, the upper their rating and progress.
