Two students in a recent thermodynamics/statistical mechanics course needed to complete a course-related project to receive honors credit for the class. Such courses are typically theoretical, without an accompanying laboratory, although there are existing related hands-on exercises. The choice of the project was influenced by one student’s desire to become a mechanical engineer after graduating while the other wanted a project that was “fun” without “just doing more calculations.” The choice of this particular project was further refined by the future engineer’s interest in the thermodynamics of car engines.
