Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in thermodynamics questions and seeks guidance on where to ask them.
  • Another suggests the thermodynamics section of the forum and mentions Dr. Michio Kaku's Forum, noting its focus on unconventional physics.
  • A different participant recommends using the search function to find existing threads related to the questions.
  • One participant advises that questions could be posted in either General Physics or General Chemistry, indicating a preference for General Physics for quicker responses, except for homework-related queries which should go to the college-level homework help section.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the suggested forum sections for posting thermodynamics questions, but there are multiple views regarding the best choice for faster responses and the appropriateness of different sections based on the nature of the questions.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified any limitations or assumptions regarding the types of thermodynamics questions that might be best suited for each suggested forum section.

What an awesome site. Well I was wondering, i have some thermodynamics physical chem related questions to ask, where is the best place to ask them? are any of you good at thermodynamics, are there any experts here?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Perhaps in the https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=9 .
There's also Dr. Michio Kaku's Forum. This one is more about out there physics I think but I'm sure selfAdjoint(the mod for that forum) could help you.

You can always use the search function too incase there is already a thread in regards to your questions.

And Welcome to PF by the way.
 
thanks for the welcome, yeah i'll be sure to check out the forums you suggested as well as other ones
 
You could ask them in either General Physics or General Chemistry. I think you'll get a better/faster response in General Physics though. The exception is if they are about homework problems, then ask them in the college level homework help section.
