Description

This lecture introduces the chapter on thermal machines, following discussions on calorimetry and phase transitions in the context of thermodynamics. The instructor explains the necessity of two heat reservoirs of different temperatures for a thermal machine to function, presents experiments to identify these sources, defines the Carnot cycle, analyzes processes on a perfect gas, discusses efficiency, and explores applications of thermal machines to various systems.
