THERMODYNAMICS
Video lectures by Pervez Hoodbhoy in English and Urdu
These lectures are suitable for undergraduate level teaching (years 16-20) and provide the conceptual foundations of thermodynamics. Although several examples are worked out here, for a fuller grasp of the subject students should work out at least some problems in the texts recommended below.
Module 1.5
- Entropy – a qualitative understanding
- Entropy – formal definition
- Entropy as a state function
- Thermodynamic cycles
- Worked example
Recommended textbooks and materials:
- Feynman Lectures in Physics – chapters 44, 45, 46
- Principles of Thermodynamics, Jean-Philippe Ansermet and Sylvain D. Brechet
- Essential Classical Thermodynamics, Ulf W. Gedde
- Problems and Solutions on Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, World Scientific
