Thank you MIT. Such a good initiative to allow lectures from such renowned Professors from a renowned university to be freely available to everyone.

Needlessly to say, these series lectures are invaluable for people (like me) who are interested in statistical mechanics. Um.. personally speaking, such videoes can help me get a deeper insight into Kardar's books, which sometimes get confused so much. Before this, there were no complete, high-quality recorded courses on stat. mech (If you know, please tell me, and I will be appreciate it), it definitely fills a gap! Thanks a lot!! Looking forward to video courses on 8.334 statistical mechanics of field!!

This professor’s lecture factors in his own (KPZ) equation, so the theoretical variances in his presentation bears a lot on the Kardar Parisi Zhang equations which may seem nontraditional/confusing to some.

One of the best lecturers to learn these things from.

Also we know that internal forces sum up to zero from newton's third law but not necessarily internal work... So if some dissipative internal forces are present inside the system then the work done will be path dependent

Thank you MIT ! From S.Korea....

When he is explaining 1st law he first assumes that the system is adibatically isolated. And then he says, in the adiabatically isolated system if he goes from one equilibrium state to other, it is independent of path. But equilibrium is defined between the system abd surrounding. And system is already adiabatically isolated from surrounding. So which equilibrium is he talking about?

@definitelynotofficial7350

Equilibrium is defined by certain macroscopic variables not changing over time, not in relation to its environment.

This man is also an accomplished calligrapher!

Actually, at 41:28 when Professor Kardar says it'd be complicated to do rigourosly... it's not so much. We can use the implicit function theorem and thus get F (i.e. the function that solves for c1) in terms of the remaining variables (and of course, when substituted into f, it should also equal 0). The restriction is that we can only get a function that satisfies this property locally and as long as the derivative of f with respect to c1 is not 0. The conditions stated above are actually not satisfied when we have first order phase transitions (e.g. water to vapour). During these transitions we have constant temperature (which gives us the thermal equilibrium between systems) and the only properties we could determine with this theorem are Temperature and Pressure, since (for example) the boiling temperature of a liquid depends only on the Pressure (i.e. ∂T/∂P≠0, and of course the temperature itself). The above limitation implies that the other thermodynamic properties cannot be obtained from the equilibrium condition alone (in fact, it's customary to introduce the property of "quality" to deal with this situation). We can visualize this with the s-T graph (engineering-references.sbainvent.com/thermodynamics/t-s-diagrams.php#.Wo5Qf-FzLIU). We note here that T doesn't change during the phase transition (for constant P=Po, T=Ts) but this means that other properties that do change exhibit a discontinuity: If we have Ɛ arbitrarily small, (T,P)=(Ts-Ɛ,Po) corresponds to a liquid state, whereas (T,P)=(Ts+Ɛ,Po) corresponds to the gaseous state. We know that the gas has higher values for h, u, s, etc. than the liquid and thus we note that these properties are discontinuous with respect to T, this corresponds to the inapplicability of the implicit function theorem in this case. We can imagine this as turning the P=Po line 90 degrees (and rescaling to the appropriate values of the properties), then it's obvious that we have ourselves a discontinuity. Finally, it's worth noting that even when we don't have a continuous F for these particular values of T, we can use the theorem to conclude that for all T where we don't have these particular type of phase transition (this goes both for transition temperatures of system A and of system C... assuming we only have the solid-liquid and the liquid-gas ones (I frankly don't know if there are more of these or not) we would then have 4 (potentially) distinct T's) function F is locally continuous, and in general F would be piecewise continuous once we take the transitions into account.

Also, I forgot to mention that it doesn't matter if "solving for C1" resulted in a multivalued function. The implicit function theorem guarantees the single valued function that matches the original coordinates.

30:00 how is B field and M mechanical in a 🧲?

@bharghavak

basically the eqn f(a1,a2...;b1,b2...)=0 is a math. form of the law stating A& B are in Equi. , now whatever coordinates of a and b satisfy that should satisfy F(a...;c....)=F(b....;c....) since its a more general equation of the total system.What he says is that the Equi. of A&B is a constraint and its values also satisfy the first Eqn and the equality would still hold no matter what values you take for c1,c2....so on. So the c's don't effect the relation when a and b values are from the constraint(Equi.) equation and the a and b variables just end up affecting each other when their values are derived from the constraint.Then finally we can turn f(a1,a2....;b1,b2.....) into a form of of only their coordinates and equate them since it's equilibrium. Hope I helped you. Edit:it really isn't complex he's just using the law,converting words to equations then stating the obvious and not very mathematically rigorous analytical results,just a rough mathematical conclusion which would occur in our specific situation.

At 41:28, the word marked as "[INAUDIBLE]" in the subtitle text is probably "handwaving", in the sense how this term is used in mathematics (see the Wikipedia article "hand-vawing"). Thank You very much for the good and wonderful video!

One way of seeing it is that the constraint shouldn't depend on the derivatives of the co-ordinates(since it is an equilibrium). Also, it obviously isn't any inequality.

Hii I am Maharashtrain here and I just completed my 12th class and I started neet exam prep 2023

I don't understand how the gas expands from 1 tank into 2 tanks without changing in temperature. If the walls are adiabatic and the gas expands in volume, it must reduce in temperature kind of like when you let hairspray out of the can, the can gets cold. Can someone clarify why there was no temperature change?

@pietromoroni3050

2 жыл бұрын

Real gases behave exactly as you said, however you observe experimentally that the closest your gas is to ideal (very dilute) the less temperature change the gas experiences in the free expansion, hence you can say ideal gases don’t experience changes in temperature when they expand freely in adiabatic conditions. In short, experiments show that gases that are well described by the ideal gas model don’t change temperature when expanding freely and hairspray is not an ideal gas, hence it cools down.
