🚂 Steam Engine (2D)

2D side-view steam engine simulator: a piston-cylinder driven by boiler-pressure steam turns a crank and flywheel, with a live PV indicator diagram tracing the real thermodynamic cycle. Tune steam pressure, cutoff timing and flywheel load.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D side-view steam engine simulator: a piston-cylinder driven by real boiler-pressure steam turns a crank and flywheel through genuine slider-crank kinematics, while a live PV indicator diagram traces the thermodynamic cycle. Adjust steam pressure, cutoff timing and flywheel load to see the engine settle at a new equilibrium speed.
