Description

After reviewing classical mechanics, we will discuss the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic work, etc.
The distinction between heat and temperature will be explained in detail.
The concept of pressure will be explained macroscopically, while also providing a microscopic interpretation.
Next, using a historical approach, we will show how principles 1 and 2 were formulated.

From there, applications will be examined: cycles, ideal/real gas, etc.

Thanks to the introduction of state changes, examples (critical point) will be presented.
We will conclude with thermodynamics: mainly diffusion. Depending on the time remaining, concepts related to radiation will be presented.
