Thermodynamics : four laws that move the universe
What is heat? What is temperature? What is energy? What is time? When we look beneath the surface of these everyday terms to learn how scientists understand them, we encounter a realm of fundamental processes that rule the universe.
Disc 1: 1. Thermodynamics: what's under the hood
2. Variables and the flow of energy
3. Temperature: thermodynamics' first force
4. Salt, soup, energy, and entropy
5. The ideal gas law and a piston
6. Energy transferred and conserved
disc 2: 7. Work-heat equivalence
8. Entropy: the arrow of time
9. The chemical potential
10. Enthalpy, free energy, and equilibrium
11. Mixing and osmotic pressure
12. How materials hold heat
disc 3: 13. How materials respond to heat
14. Phases of matter: gas, liquid, solid
15. Phase diagrams: ultimate materials maps
16. Properties of phases
17. To mix, or not to mix?
18. Melting and freezing of mixtures
disc 4: 19. The Carnot engine and limits of efficiency
20. More engines: materials at work
21. The electrochemical potential
22. Chemical reactions: getting to equilibrium
23. The chemical reaction quotient
24. The greatest processes in the world.
