Reaching breaking point: Materials, Stresses, and Toughness:
Let's take a look at the materials used in engineering and their various properties.
Drugs, Dyes, and Mass Transfer
Let's explore mass transfers, the forces that drive them, diffusion and Fick's Law.
How Not to Set Your Pizza on Fire
Let's explain how exchangers exchange heat so we can decide which are best for our needs.
We'll dive further into fluid flow and how we can use equipment to apply our skills.
Let's cover mass and energy transfers, the no-slip condition, stress and strain and more!
Heat Engines, Refrigerators, and Cycles
Cycles are kind of a big deal. We use them in heat engines, refrigerators and heat pumps.
Why We Can't Invent a Perfect Engine
It's time to learn the second law of thermodynamics and how we came to understand it.
The First & Zeroth Laws of Thermodynamics
How does thermodynamics work, and where does it show up in our daily lives?
Reversibility & Irreversibility
How do we design the most efficient machines and processes?
Shini explains the law of conservation, beginning with simple, steady-state systems.
