Self-tutoring about thermodynamics: the tutor mentions some ideas about adiabatic events. The following is according to my understanding. I mention the idea of adiabatic in my post of Oct 20, 2020. Adiabatic describes a process that happens with no exchange …

Tutoring physics, and in everyday explanations, thermodynamics can arise. The tutor mentions its second law. The second law of thermodynamics states that, when a change happens that won’t go back on its own, the total entropy of the universe increases. …
Self-tutoring about thermodynamics and weather: the tutor mentions adiabatic. Adiabatic refers to the concept that a system can heat or cool without heat flow between itself and the environment. In such a case, the exchange is of energy. If the …
Self-tutoring about thermodynamics: the tutor imagines the temperature in space and why it’s meant to be so cold. The temperature in space, away from any heat-producing features, is meant to be around 2.7K. By comparison, 0°C is 273K. Temperature, as …
The tutor looks more specifically into the effect of compression on gas temperature. In my January 20 post I began about thermodynamics and the effect of compressing a gas. Today, I’ll give more specific coverage. The temperature rise a gas …
Chemistry, thermodynamics: temperature increase caused by compression, continued Read more »
The tutor begins about thermodynamics with the example of compressing a gas. Thermodynamics is the analysis of energy – particularly, how it moves and/or changes form. The First Law of Thermodynamics is the Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot …
