Thermodynamics
Description
A 100% efficient automobile engine is a nice idea. Unfortunately, it breaks the law-the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that is. This program judiciously explains both Laws of Thermodynamics, providing details on isovolumetric, isobaric, and adiabatic processes. Heat engines, with their hot and cold reservoirs, are also given their day in court, along with the concept of entropy, which is charged with disorderly conduct.
