    This professor just simplified and made me understand everything my professor is teaching me for the past 2 months of thermo class. His global story in the beginning was actually to help students understand the difference between macro and microscopic properties of thermodynamics. If you follow exactly what he is saying, it should make sense since he actually defines everything-which ALMOST every thermo professor will not do. Count yourselves blessed MIT students. And thank you for sharing!

    By breaking even he means energy is conserved in an isolated system. If you have 50 J of potential energy (U), that 50 J's of U can be converted into kinetic energy; problem is some energy will be lost due to friction. The energy that you do lose is forever lost to the universe. Hence, if you can reach absolute zero temperature (0K), you prevent the loss of energy due to friction. This is what he means by the 3rd law (you can never break even). Absolute zero can never be achieved.

    There is a lot of blather below regarding whether the lecturer, who is excellent, made a slight mis-statement of this point or that point. All of which is beside the point. What I learned from 5 years of work towards a PhD in physical chemistry is that once through the material is never enough. It takes a combination of live lectures, several textbooks, study guides, writing out mathematical derivations until you understand them, and endless problem solving.

    Thanks for actually teaching and not just being a robot. If only other instructors new how to teach. While filling out my FAFSA, I noticed Wright State only had a 38% graduation rate.

    pinned neutron superfluid provides an angular momentum reservoir as its rotation rate is determined by the areal vortex density, which is constant as long as it is pinned to the crust. At the same time, the crust continuously slows down due to loss of its angular momentum in the particle wind and electromagnetic radiation. At a critical lag in this differentially rotating two- component system, superfluid vortices get unpinned, dumping a large amount of angular momentum to the crust, which is observed as a spin-up in the crustal rotation rate, usually inferred by timing the radio pulse (Alpar et al. 1984a, 1985). This implies that the fractional spin-up provides a probe of the extent of angular momentum transfer and hence the MoI of the crustal pinned superfluid. The ratio of the MoI of the crustal pinned superfluid to that of the rest of the star, referred to as the fractional moment of inertia (FMI), can be related to the observed fractional spin-up

    @Tanjiskas it means that you convert 100% of the heat you are inducing into the system into useful work. which means that the efficiency is 100%. actually the first never said that but it just didn't mind it. so the second law said that you cannot reach 100% efficiency because you are always generating entropy along the way and by increase in entropy you are wasting energy

    Good thing about learning from fine professors is that you realize something that most of the time can't be provided by reading from resources.

    The Ocean Conveyer and Evaporation/precipitation cycle are natures example
    The Sun heats the Tropical waters, Deep Space super cools the Polar waters, hot water rises,cold water falls the result is the Ocean Conveyer that uses the difference between hot water and cold water to create Kinetic motion(repeat)
    As heat from the Ocean rises it created moist thermals, hot air rises, cold air falls and the difference makes wind by kenetics, as heat disapates it makes Clouds that rain(repeat)

      i caught that he spends a good deal of time looking down when he's thinking you can tell its habitual. he fails to mention that the American standard has historically changed over time by small increments if he was going to bring up the Dr. in lecture it a small cite to mention that better explains why we see what we do today.

    Fair enough! I agree that its for a pretty narrow audience and knowing the pre-reqs for the course may help those who might not enjoy the course as much as I did. Any other suggestions ?

      They just launched a new version of this course (taught by a different prof) on Edx. Check out MITx: 5.601x Chemical Thermodynamics I: Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics (course 1 of 2)

    He means that the 2nd law defines the direction of spontaneous change. A process is spontaneous only if the total entropy of the system in which it occurs increases. For example, sugar dissolving in hot coffee occurs spontaneously -- sugar will only crystallize from hot coffee if energy is expended. i.e. the entropy of the universe must always increase--it follows the direction of natural change, a.k.a. the "arrow of time". The 2nd law is also about the reversibility of change No more room!
