Thermodynamics Principles

This lecture covers the principles of thermodynamics, including extensive and intensive variables, energy, and power. It delves into topics such as internal entropy production and derivative of energy. The slides discuss kinetic energy, system states, equations of motion, and mechanical actions. The lecture also explores material exchange, external forces, and moments, as well as thermal and mechanical processes. It explains the concepts of system energy, momentum, and angular momentum, emphasizing the importance of system states and equations of motion. The presentation concludes with discussions on internal energy, infinitesimal processes, and the damped harmonic oscillator.
