Congratulations Prof. Bawendi! I've been watching your videos here since 2009. I can't believe you're a Nobel Prize Laureate now! 👏
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!

Watch it one time and you keep everything in your mind forever. Thats how good it is!
I must say, Its been a long time since I heard and saw a professor that describes a subject so well. Clear spoken, good comparisons and takes his time. Great lecture!!
Aploading these videos is GREAT not only for students but for general knowledge as well. I actually enjoy watching such videos as i enjoy watching scientific documentaries. I took thermodynamics in college a long time ago and I still come back to it from time to time through these videos. Thank you MIT and I hope to see more universities follow suit.

I respect MIT, their Chemical Engineering Department. All the related open course presentations I've viewed are excellent, efficient to focus on the significant examples, theories, conclusions.
This is soooo good. I can't put in words how much I appreciate these MIT courses. Altough I'm from Germany the course is pretty much the same and the lecturer is soooooo good, mine is so hard to understand that it made physical chemistry look boring, but now I seriously can't stop watching these lectures. This is the greatest thing KZread and the MIT offer, for free!

Amela Mesinovic almost all of the lecturers are very charismatic.. it might be a prerequisute to teach there! At our university (also in germany) we have environmental science lecturers that are so boring they actually lose significant parts of their audience after a few weeks in every semester. So yeah very good there are such courses offered online.

You should check out their chemistry course too.! The professor there is outstanding.
Surprising how much this is helpful to Philosophical topics in one lecture than a whole week or semester of philosophy lectures.
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.
This professor is amazing kept me engaged on viewing this and I usually get easily distracted and I loved he put in parts of the history of thermodynamics. I hope he is still making lecture videos and teaching.

What a great time to be alive. A full course from MIT on thermodynamics; complete and free.
Such a charismatic lecturer. He makes it 100% easy to UNDERSTAND!
Best teacher in my experience so far.
Great lecture. Uses lots of examples and makes it easy to understand.
I loved thermodynamics from these lectures, you made it simple, congratulations prof on your noble prize
Fantastic professor and his way of teaching is easy to grasp for a beginner!
I love the way he teaches. After teaching for some time he asks whether students have any question or queries in their mind.
It's 3 a clock in the morning and i'm watching this. The teatcher explains this subject so good that the time doesn't matter. I had previously experiences with Thermodynamics and it not worked as good as i wanted to be, maybe because the professor didn't make the subject interresting, or maybe because i was unable to understand that in that time. All of this to say thank you, and express my profound hapiness of learning (reviewing) so many things with this video. Thank you so much :)
Watching these videos is a great way to pass out when you're trying to sleep at night. Not that his lecture is particularly boring, just any lecture is boring.
Wonderful series. Invaluable!
thank you, the lecture helps a lot. This course is so stressing.
Thanks MIT,all the way from South Africa...:)
thanks, greetings from México:)
Good for you, you'll have a blast! I'm taking the equivalent of this thermo course now - for me it is called physical chemistry - and let me tell you, it is *really* challenging!
Interesting lectures,pure science definitions...Am enjoying this lectures.
Excellent introduction to the subject. It is wonderful to hear different perspectives on Thermo!
Thank you MIT for these video lectures
Thanks for uploading.. that made thermodynamics much better for me...
This instructor teaches in a very easy to understand coherent way. His eyebrows are the focal point of his face.
Thank mit for uploading these lectures..help me alot to understand thermodynamics.
A very brief introduction to PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY. Thermodynamics and Chemical Kinetics are 2 branches of Physical Chemistry.
The macroscopic view is ruled by conservation and microscopic view was initiation or seeding rain or seeding wind for example
Congratulations on your Nobel prize in chemistry

Hi Physics student here, just have to say I've gotten thorough enjoyment over your argument with Mr. Williams. I actually did a paper last semester on alternative fuel/ eliminating use of fossil fuels. I'm always fascinated by peoples' stands on oil and alternative/ renewable energy.
Thanks for the video, gave me a good preview of what to expect
this is the best ever thermometer explanation
This is how engineering should be tought. Reading off slides like it's done today is just pointless. I can do that myself.

Congrats professor for the Nobel and thank you for your contribution in science.
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

Time is two way visible and invisible. What we see is forward but the invisible time is reverse but we can not see about what we do goes reverse invisibly
Very nice presentation. Thank you for sharing this material.
Many thanks for this great lecture.
thanks here sir and complete team for being arrogant with who challenge humankind survival ,life is challenging and difficult thus we thanks our mentor who help us in enjoying the same ....
I have a query. At 23:23 ,for a one component ,homogeneous system is it necessary to specify the no. of moles apart from the two intensive variables. According to gibbs phase rule, i think only two intensive variables are enough to define the state of the system. and there is no requirement to specify the no. of moles.
oh my god I'm taking 5.60 next semester I'm so glad this is here now I never have to go to lecture
Thanks for the reply. Iot that. I just wasn't sure whether he meant to say "Makes more energy than it uses" rather than "creates."
Thanks for the video. Greetings from Haiti.
I love how he starts explaining the thermodynamics of 100-proof vodka with a complete straight face as though it's no different from CO2 or H2SO4

Love it when he starts talking about Fahrenheit scale
@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
Congratulations Sir..👍🌹🙏
Many thanks for this gift to us students
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.
Great lecture! I enjoy this subject :)

@Polyfusia Yes, I guess I misunderstood you. In that case, I would re-study all of the material on my own time. In most math classes I would not understand the lectures, and so studied all of the material again in the textbook when I got home. Look, I'm not saying that it's your fault or whatever, but if you want the education, you find a way to get it. It's not as if having excuses about why you can't do it will help you in any way.

Congrats to my online professor..Well deserved
amazing first lecture on macroscopic thermodynamics, expected nothing less from MIT kudos
thermo in greek does mean heat but here it is mainly considered as energy since thermodynamics deals with work and heat interactions
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.
I just love this professor. Can I know his name please?

I have a doubt, about closed system, in a closed system energy can be exchange; however, mass can not. But we know that E = mc2, so can we say that mass is also exchnging in a closed system?

hey can anyone answer that how the resistivity will increase as the flow of heat takes place.???
the universe and with some limits to how large u want your system to be within that universe is technically a isolated system
Excellent lecture, its a great help to watch along with my thermodynamics class
because in order to get absolute zero, you would need to remove all the heat and since heat transfer in a preferred direction from high to low, theoretically you would need something less then absolute zero to remove the heat.
