Abstract
This program simulates, at the microscopic level, two gas chambers with an opening between them. The program allows users to set up simulations that illustrate the thermodynamics and statistical behavior of the system. The user determines the basis for whether the demon permits or denies passage of particles through the opening using information from the microscopic level.
