Explores the conservation of energy in thermodynamic systems through heat and work interactions, introducing internal energy, enthalpy, and heat capacity.
Discusses entropy, isentropic transformations, and the Clausius-Kelvin prohibitions, as well as the Carnot cycle and the efficiency of machines with two heat sources.
Explores thermodynamic identities, entropy changes, and thermal machine efficiencies, including Carnot and Otto cycles, heat pumps, and heating methods.
