Elastic and Calorimetric Coefficients

Explores the choice of elastic and calorimetric coefficients in thermodynamics and their practical applications in everyday materials.

Elastic and Calorimetric Coefficients

Discusses the choice of state variables, elastic and calorimetric coefficients, and the concept of heat in thermodynamics.

Thermoelastic and Calorimetric Coefficients: Elastic Wire Example

Analyzes thermoelastic and calorimetric coefficients using an elastic wire example.

Open Systems, Thermodynamic Potentials

Explores state variables, homogeneous functions, chemical potential, and thermodynamic potentials in open systems.

Open Systems, Thermodynamic Functions

Explores state variables, functions, and mathematical theorems in thermodynamics, focusing on open systems and the behavior of entropy at absolute zero temperature.

Thermodynamic Potentials

Explains the concept of energy minimization and the role of free energies as thermodynamic potentials in closed systems.
