    Law Thermodynamic
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the kinetic theory of gases and its relationship to thermodynamics, specifically referencing "The Feynman Lectures." A participant expresses curiosity about the text being discussed, confirming it is indeed Feynman's work. The conversation highlights a particular interest in Feynman's comments on the term "adiabatic" and its varied applications. There is a noted difficulty in connecting the concept of adiabatic processes in thermodynamics with those in quantum mechanics. Overall, the exchange emphasizes the complexity of understanding these scientific concepts across different fields.

hello there !
i found this while studying :the kinetic theory of gases.
the thing is thermodynamics comes afterwards , and i found this

do you want a link
 
No thanks , a lot ! These are very famous. Feynman's comment about how "adiabatic" is used in many contexts caught my attention. I always had difficulty associating adiabatic in thermodynamics to adiabatic in quantum mechanics.

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
