The primary objectives of the Heat and Thermodynamics Virtual Laboratory are to:

• Demonstrate the fundamental modes of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—through interactive simulations and measurable outcomes.
• Enable students to study and quantify phase transitions, including energy changes during melting and boiling processes.
• Verify key thermal laws, including Newton’s Law of Cooling and the Stefan–Boltzmann Law, using virtual experimental setups and data analysis tools.
• Visualize the behavior of idealized thermal systems, such as black body radiation, and understand their role in thermal equilibrium and energy transfer.
• Introduce the principles of thermoelectric effects, particularly the Seebeck effect, and explore their applications in thermal sensors and energy harvesting.
• Promote scientific inquiry and problem-solving through hands-on virtual experiments that replicate the design, execution, and interpretation of physical laboratory procedures.
• Foster a deeper understanding of thermal properties and their implications in engineering, environmental science, and everyday life.
