Introducing the Work Horses of Thermodynamics using Flexagon
Abstract
Flexagon is one of the oldest paper folding techniques. This has been extensively used by artists to make different shapes and designs. This tool has been successfully used to introduce the fundamentals of thermodynamics to Undergraduates as well as High School children. The flexagon focuses on the first law of thermodynamics and the interplay between Internal energy, Enthalpy, Heat and Work. This tool not only makes the teaching-learning process interesting but also helps the students memorize these concepts easily.
Keywords
