Applications of the First Law of Thermodynamics

This lecture covers the derivation of the rule governing adiabatic transformations for a perfect gas, the calculation examples, the concept of specific heat, the law of perfect gases, the adiabatic exponent, and practical exercises on adiabatic expansion for monoatomic and diatomic gases. The instructor explains the conservation of a specific quantity during reversible adiabatic transformations and demonstrates how to calculate the final temperature of a gas undergoing adiabatic expansion. The lecture concludes with a discussion on different types of transformations, emphasizing the importance of using absolute temperature in calculations.
