Lecture

Thermodynamics: Work, Heat, and Oscillators

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of work, heat, and damped harmonic oscillators in the context of thermodynamics. It discusses the internal energy balance, infinitesimal variations in work and heat, and the relationship between energy and state variables. The lecture also explores the energy of an isolated harmonic oscillator, its energy balance, and the application of the second law of Newton. Additionally, it touches on the program 'MOOCs for Africa' aimed at enhancing higher education in Africa through sustainable initiatives.
