Video lectures or online course in thermodynamics

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking video resources to supplement their thermodynamics course using "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Moran and Shapiro. They have previously relied on platforms like Khan Academy and YouTube for assistance. A recommended resource is UC Irvine's online course MAE 91, which features relevant video lectures on YouTube. Additionally, the textbook is praised for its effective explanation of the second law of thermodynamics, and another suggested book is "Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics" by Smith and van Ness. The discussion emphasizes the importance of supplementary materials for mastering thermodynamics concepts.

TL;DR Summary
To accompany "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" by Moran, Shapiro, et al.
Hello,

I am beginning a course in thermodynamics in which we will be using the textbook "Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics" (Moran, Shapiro Et al.).

Does anyone know of a video series which covers similar topics as in textbook? I have the textbook, I am just looking for a supplement as I have relied heavily on Khan Academy, Youtube, etc. in other courses to help me get by.

If it is helpful I can post the table of contents or find a link to them.

Thanks

I found a resource which appears to be very close to the text. UC Irvine has an online course MAE 91: Into to Thermodynamics with video lectures on YouTube.

If anyone has another resource they'd like to add that'd be great too.
 
Moran et al, in my judgment, is a wonderful textbook. I particularly like its treatment of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. I think you're really going to like the course. Another good book is Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics by Smith and van Ness.

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
