Beginner's guide to Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics

This lecture describes the history of thermofluids. It tells us how the knowledge of heat and fluid energy has helped mankind from time immemorial. From Water clocks to Internal Combustion Engine, this science has helped power civilization.

The 1st Law of thermodynamics is one of the fundamental laws. It brings home the concept of conservation. This concept can be expanded into other fields also (Sociology and Economics).

The second Law of thermodynamics is a universal law. Its applications are widespread. It is used by creationists to economists.  It has multiple interpretations. Over centuries, scientists have tried to prove it in different ways. This law helps us to understand why even time flows in one direction.

This lecture looks at Perpetual Motion Machines or PMMs. Over time there have been many inventors claiming to make a generator that does not require fuel. This lecture bunks the myth.

The non flow energy equation is simplest of the equations. It is based on the first law. Its applications are limited but is crucial to our understanding of fundamentals of thermodynamic systems

The Science of Fluid Mechanics along with its applications will be introduced. This science has not only helped us to make rockets and aeroplanes but has also helped us in making water wheels and hydro turbines.

This lecture touches upon the study of hydrostatics or the study of fluids in rest

Learn how with a small amount of force, heavy objects can be lifted. Pascal's law allowed us to build all hydraulics machines.

The three different kinds of energy in a moving fluid are explored in this lecture.

In this lecture, the very important equation called Bernoulli's equation is discussed. This equation is a tool used frequently by engineers particularly when designing piping systems.

Learn how to make a simple Sterling engine using everyday materials.

Learn how to reduce for fuel consumption by 20% using the simple tip in this lecture.
