Point to Heavy Species.

Point to Light Species.

Below the pump, a Gas in Pump box with Heavy and Light species is given.


Click on the radio buttons to switch between heavy and light species of the gas.

Point to the Thermometer on the top and Pressure gauge on the right side A thermometer and a pressure gauge are attached to the chamber.


Using these we can see the changes in temperature and pressure in the chamber.

Point to the Heat control on the bottom of the chamber A heat control slider to add or remove heat from the chamber is given at the bottom.
Point to the right side of the Interface.


Point to all the controls from top to bottom.

Right panel has controls to change the parameters of the simulation.


We will use them as required.

Click on Measurement Tools

Click the Layer Tool

Click on the Measurement Tools button.

A box opens with different measuring tools.


The Layer tool allows you to see the pressure at a selected height.

Click on Advanced Options


Point to Molecules Collide option

Point to Temperature of new particle option

Now click on the Advanced Options button.


Using the Molecules collide option we can turn on molecular collision.


Temperature of new particles option changes the temperature of new particles.

Only Narration Let us demonstrate buoyancy using the Hot air balloon.
Click and drag the piston of the Pump.


Point to the gas particles in the chamber.

Click and drag the piston of the Pump up and down.

This adds Heavy gas particles inside the chamber.

Point to the thermometer and pressure gauge. Observe that the gas species move in random directions.


As they move observe the changes in the temperature and pressure.

Point to the Hot air balloon We see that the Hot air balloon does not float.

It settles at the bottom of the container.

Point to the Hot Air Balloon slider on the right side of the interface.


Click and drag the slider upwards.

Point to the flame inside the balloon.

Let’s click and drag the Hot Air Balloon slider upwards.


This turns on the heater inside the Hot air balloon.

Point to the Hot Air Balloon We see that the balloon slowly moves to the top of the chamber.


Weight of the balloon and gas inside it is less than the volume of gas around it.


Due to this, buoyant forces act on the balloon and it rises.

Drag the handle to the right. Let us decrease the volume of the chamber.


Drag the handle to the right to decrease the volume.

We observe that pressure and temperature increase.

Drag the handle to the right Drag the handle still further.


We see that the lid flies off and the gas molecules move out of the chamber.

Point to Return Lid button


Click on the return lid button

Click on the Reset button

A Return Lid button gets activated.

Click the Return Lid button to bring back the lid to its place.


Click the Reset button in the right panel bottom to reset the simulation.

Drag the piston to add Heavy species.

Go to heat control and move the slider upwards and hold the left mouse button.

Click on the Return Lid button.

Let’s increase the temperature of the chamber.


Add Heavy species using the pump as before.


Go to the Heat Control.

Move the slider upwards and hold the mouse button to add heat.

After some time the balloon rises up and the lid again flies off.


Click the Return Lid button to close the chamber.

Drag the piston to add Heavy species.


Go to the Constant Parameter and click the Pressure option.


Click on the Pressure option.

Let’s add Heavy species to the chamber.


Let’s go to the Constant Parameter and click the Pressure option.

We see that the volume keeps changing to keep the pressure constant.

Go to Gravity control and drag the slider to Lots. Let’s now increase the gravity of the chamber.


Go to the Gravity option and drag the slider to Lots.

Drag the slider of Hot Air Balloon control up to add heat.


Point to the balloon.

Go to the Hot Air Balloon control and add heat to the balloon.


We see that the balloon rises up but to a much lower height than before.


This happens because an increase in gravity pulls the balloon downwards.

Click the Measurement Tools option.


Click on the Energy Histograms checkboxes.

Let’s take a look at the Energy Histogram.

Go to the Measurement Tools.

Click on the Energy Histograms option.

A pop-up window with the energy histograms for the system appears.

Point to Kinetic energy histogram

Point to Speed histogram.

Close the Particle Statistics window.

Here only a few particles possess higher kinetic energy and speed.

So as Kinetic energy increases the number of particles with it will be lower.

For speed, most particles will have an average speed.

Close the Energy Histograms window.

Click on Rigid Hollow Sphere tab


Point to Rigid Hollow Sphere

Point to Gas in Sphere option on the right panel.

Switch to the Rigid Hollow Sphere tab.


Here, Hot Air Balloon inside the chamber is replaced by a Rigid Hollow Sphere.
