Note from our Content Consultant: Different branches of engineering sometimes define the first law of thermodynamics differently, depending on how work is defined. Essentially, work released from a system might be defined as a positive value or a negative value, and thus the first law can be defined as either Q-W or Q+W. Both are acceptable forms, depending on how the system is defined! We chose to focus on only one definition here to limit the confusion.
The 3 laws of thermodynamics as I understand them: 1. You can't win, you can at best break even. 2. You can only break even at 0. 3. You can't get down to 0. Also: The 4th law of thermodynamics: "Never attempt to explain the other 3 at a first date."
Enthalpy is something I’ve always struggled with during my thermodynamics classes and yet it can be explained so simply. I wish my teachers were as enthusiastic as those on Crash Course, because I feel burnt out with my mechanical engineering course at college and yet those videos do spark interest and appreciation for those topics in me. Thank you, dr. Shini and whole Crash Course crew!
I didn't understand the definition of shaft work quite there... It said, "any type of mechanical energy other than what's necessary for flow." I didn't understand the "other than" part... Isn't shaft work about propelling liquid or gas

5:47 What did you mean by that? Energy can be transferred through substance no matter what, so how can this internal energy not be able to leave the system?
Thermodynamics is by far the least intuitive part of my Physics class work. Though I've struggled with, I'm glad I get it now. I hope you cover thermodynamic cycles!
Excellent video to remember the basic concepts of thermodynamics, the relationship between open and closed systems, as well as the considerations that must be made with each of them. For a person who doesn't live with calculations that involve this branch of science, it seems a good tool to start learning. The graphics seemed right to me, especially when he explained the kinetic energy with the Star Wars character.
I've seen a few cases of the Zeroth Law of, in areas where a more fundamental law was discovered some time after the first law. What happens if, further down the line, you find an even more fundamental law?
This is my Second favorite CrashCourse you guys (& gals) have ever done. (Saying something because my favorite CC is CC anatomy and physiology which has my favorite Science entertainer that I know of in it. The cat!) (ok maybe I lied about the cat being my favorite. But everything else in this comment is at least not a joke. I mean you can’t tell if I am lying. I mean This is the Internet and we’re communicating entirely through text which isn’t the most emotionally revealing medium. The most I can do to prove that I am not lying (within reason) is point out the lack of stuff to be gained form doing otherwise) _Edit: in case you want to know who I’m talking about but are to lazy to try and figure it out._ (I don’t blame you) _I’m talking about Hank._
If you leave a soda in the fridge, it'll get cold. If you leave it in the sun, depending on the can's ability to absorb energy from sunlight, it will match or exceed the ambient air temperature.
Fun fact: matter is also a form of stored energy. That's why nukes work -- a little bit of the, say, uranium atom is converted to energy when it decays -- and why the masses of subatomic particles are measured in electrom volts. Also, heh heh, she said "shaft work."
Delivery McGee But the decaying isn't the reason why the nuke explodes. It is because the radioactive materials have uncontrolled nuclear fission, which causes tons and tons of energy to be realesed in a second, which ends up in an explosion.
This video is about: The first law of thermodynamics also known as Law of conservation of Energy, states that energy can’t be created or destroyed. And the second law states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases ( entropy is the measure thermal energy per unit of temperature) Jaqueline López UP170620
I can't believe that half of my Thermodynamics course at the university has been summed up in ten minutes! This branch of Physics is truly one of the most important, especially for those who are studying Energy Engineering. And I think the best way to understand all the basics about thermodynamic systems is with simple examples and lots of images. The equations and all the math can be deduced from the understanding of the systems. Diego G. López Cruz UP170269 ENE04A
This topic sounds interesting, as a future engineer is one of the basic fundamentals that we must know in order to apply to many functions Daniel Alejandro Hernández De La Torre ENE04A
First, we need to focus in the zeroth law, that represents the thermal equilibrium between objects those are sharing their heat one each other, and when other object with different temperature comes to the system, the other objects give o receive the heat to the other object, until the system stay in thermal equilibrium. The first Thermodynamic's law talks about the way that the heat and the work (both, types of transition's energy) mixed to be named intern energy, another variable in Thermodynamics. This law is based in the conservation energy's principle. Alejandro Ventura UP170146
You heard it here first, apples are making America fat. (Joking obv) As a bio-chemical researcher, I love the series as well as the many others Complexly creates. Keep it up!
Thanks to this video, we can reaffirm a little what was already known about thermodynamics. Here we can also reaffirm that we can learn to create more efficient machines for industrial processes and at the same time be able to take care of our environment and improve technology, because thermodynamics is present on all sides, everything must be in balance to be able to function. Nancy Delgado Rodríguez UP170110 ENE04A
Thermodynamics show up in our daily lives. Engineering is not just about getting more of what we want, but also controlling what we don't want. The zeroth law of thermodynamics, what it means to reach a thermal equilibrium, and define the first law of thermodynamics (internal energy + kinetic energy + potential energy = heat added - work done). It is important to know the forms of energy, and the types of systems (open and closed). and it is explained in a simple way as the isochoric, adiabatic and stationary processes, as well as understanding the enthalpy, make our daily life easier. Alejandra Muñoz UP170047/ ENE04A
So if a cold can left outside obtains thermo equilibrium with the air around it. (Assuming the sun isn't pumping anymore enegery onto the planet) how many cans would it take to cool the atmosphere?
Trinity Delafuente How do you cool the cans? If you don't cool them outside of the measured system no amount (nor size nor temperature) will be enough.
fiona fiona . Okay then assuming the cans are cooled inside of a closed system (like a sealed home) and it's cooled by changing the pressure of one side of the house to another. Then the can is brought outside. (Without leaking any air from inside the home)
How big /warm is the atmosphere, how do you get the energy (won't it get very hot and inefficient inside fast?) , is humanity continuing to warm our planet? Do you know the scene in "futureama" featuring the from of an ever Lager ice block in an ocean keeping global warming in check trough this inter planetary import?
Any can of cold soda would cool the atmosphere a little assuming no more heat was being pumped into the system. A better question would be if you have an unlimited supply of sodas, say a litre per can, and you wanted to cool the atmosphere a single degree celsius, how many would it take?
aren't all forms of energy ultimately kinetic in some way: light has to move, chemicals have to move, electrons have to move, quarks have to move. "things" need to move and interact basically...?
X4rrr place a test charged particle in an electrical field and it will have a potential electrical energy even if it isn’t moving. Place a ball on top of a building and it will have gravitational potential energy even if it isn’t moving. Place a zinc and copper powder separated by a barrier and they will have potential chemical energy. Heat really just is kinetic energy, but energy isn’t just motion, it is simply the capability to do work.
@@RanaKamikaze "place a ball on top..." ...surely that's motion? as in, isn't all potential energy predicated on prior kinetic energy? similar argument for "place zinc and copper..." a) "place" involves prior movement and b) surely chemical energy entails movement of electrons? similarly, even electrical fields appear to be related to the movement of subatomic particles? not my field, so no idea, but it still seems to all be movement of some sort...
Thermodynamic has a big branch of obtain energy and is important understand the benefits than get it. The law zeroth of termodynamic is the begin of the rules from the other laws, someone described the pressure, volume and temperature like a equilibrium of the system. I know the 1st law explain about the conservation but I needed to know a little more like energy contained within the system and than the energy can move between boundaries.

The first law of thermoodynamics state that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed. So then why is it taught that when matter meets anti-matter it is destroyed. This contradicts the first law of thermodynamics. Plz explain in depth. thanks
Yes and No. At least not really: the can may heat a bit more at the beginning - as the air is constantly cooling by transmitting heat to the earth and into space (even if it is just a few atoms a time; if it wouldn't we would really fast live on a boiling planet) - but as the heat of the can surpasses the heat of the surrounding atmosphere, it begins to emmit the heat again, at some point reaching an equilibrium with its surroundings. (Btw: this is the reason criminal examiners can determine how long a (newly deceased) person is dead - because the body stops producing heat around the time of death and starts to cool down to the surrounding temperature)
I know about thermodynamics is that it obviously has to do with energy, heat and work.
