Ideal Gas Law Computer

[ProsperoTaligent]

I want to make a circuit that is analog to an equation between the Ideal Gas Law and Latent Heat of Paraffin Wax. I guess, the figures I want to find across the voltage are the Discharge Rate for a particular Volume of compressed air. It is for a prototyping process by which I predict the conditions inside a PCM thermal exchange for an air powered golf cart during its operation. I will measure the actual conditions and attempt to automate for course and update my model.

Euler’s third thermodynamics law predicts that Tesla-Faraday’s gas laws do not have a singular non-tangential solution at room temperature.

Ah...wasn't it Clausius & Thomson for the 1st & 2nd laws and Nernst for the 3rd. Euler was a bright guy but had nothing to do with this subject.

Hmmmm…. You may be right.
But upon second thoughts, it could have been Henry Ford.
Or even better, Elon Musk.

Okay, none of those guys are as cool as Al Hazeen. This is not a perpetual motion device, it is a golf cart and they only play by club house rules and the laws of thermal dynamics. It is a thermal accumulator, the paraffin wax, when it changes phases from 51°c to 50°c, makes 176kj/kg of latent heat available to be discharged very quickly. It is a deltaT rather than a deltaV, like in lithium. Please, please, please, don't cool a data center with this technology. It is too much copper and you are going to make a derecho.

So, there are two mathematical rules to designing an analog circuit? Adding Voltages and Diodes... I think this would be good practice for reducing our reliance on digital computation for performing simple arithmetic. I could make an analog computer and use an ATmini to find the figures across the voltage. Maybe I need more analog circuits though and an ATmega in order to convert the voltages to the figures.

Analog computers were widely in the mid to late 20th Century, but they are not very accurate unless high precision and fully calibrated components and amplifiers are used.

Digital is cheaper and simpler, in most cases. An MCU cost less than a high-precision opamp, and a single 5V or 3.3V supply costs less than a +/- 15V dual supply, normally used to give a calibratable +/- 10V signal range.
