Lecture

Thermodynamics: Temperature, Pressure, Chemical Potential

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of temperature, pressure, and chemical potential in thermodynamics, focusing on homogeneous, uniform, and simple systems. It explains the definitions of extensive and intensive variables such as entropy, volume, and quantity of substance. The lecture also delves into the first and second principles of thermodynamics, discussing internal energy balance, entropy production, and power generation. Additionally, it explores the steady-state condition, where state variables are independent of time, and emphasizes the importance of entropy conservation and the second law of thermodynamics.
