DESCRIPTION
The program contains a set of interactive computer simulations showing atoms in motion.  Users can set various parameters:  number and type of particles, temperature, type of interactions between particles, etc.  Graphs show speed distribution, pressure vs volume, pressure vs temperature, etc.  The topics are listed below:
Diffusion
Free Play (2-D and 3-D)
Pressure vs. Number of Atoms (2-D and 3-D)
 Pressure vs. Temperature (2-D and 3-D)
 Pressure vs. Volume (2-D and 3-D)
 Collision Frequency
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
Effusion
Maxwell-Boltzmann Speed Distribution
Cesium Chloride
Le Chatelier's Principle
Sodium Chloride
Zinc Blende
Equivalence of Different Ensembles, A
Equivalence of Different Ensembles, B
Mean Free Path
Pressure Fluctuations
Time Averaging of Kinetic Energy
