Description
After reviewing classical mechanics, we will discuss the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic work...
The distinction between heat and temperature will be explained in detail.
The concept of pressure will be explained from a macroscopic perspective, while also providing its microscopic interpretation.
Next, using a historical approach, we will show how the first and second laws of thermodynamics came to be formulated.
From there, we will look at various applications: cycles, ideal and real gases, etc.
With the introduction of phase changes, examples (critical point) will be discussed.
We will conclude with thermal phenomena: primarily diffusion. Depending on the time remaining, concepts related to radiation will be discussed.
