It was developed

56

into four laws.

79
00:04:47,200 -->
00:04:52,170
So, these laws are,
they're really
depillars.
80
00:04:52,180 -->
00:04:56,750
They're not
proven, but
they're not wrong.
81
00:04:56,760 -->
00:05:00,150
They're very
unlikely
to be wrong.
82
00:05:00,160 -->
00:05:02,630
Let's just go

quickly.

I'll call V bar, which
is the

also describes the

00:22:28,200 -->

do a change that
involves
a mechanical
change.
495
00:29:08,150 -->
00:29:12,200
All right, so I need
to tell
you the path,
when I go from
496
00:29:12,210 -->
00:29:14,510
one state to the
other.
497
00:29:14,520 -->
00:29:17,520
And the path is
going to be the
sequence,
intermediate
states
498

00:29:17,530 -->
00:29:20,120
going from the
initial
state the final
state.
499
00:29:20,130 -->
00:29:27,660
So, for instance, if I
draw a
graph of pressure
on one axis
500
00:29:27,670 -->
00:29:32,690
and temperature
on the other
axis, my initial
state is at a
501
00:29:32,700 -->
00:29:39,960
temperature of
100 degrees
Celsius and five
bar.
502
00:29:39,970 -->
00:29:47,990
My final stage is 50
degrees
Celsius and one
bar.
503
00:29:47,000 -->
00:29:51,150
So, I could have
two
steps in my path.

keep the pressure


constant
505
00:29:54,600 -->
00:29:58,830
and lower the
pressure.
506
00:29:58,840 -->
00:30:00,940
When I get to 50
degrees
Celsius, I could
choose to
507
00:30:00,950 -->
00:30:04,120
keep the
temperature
constant
and lower the
pressure.
508
00:30:04,130 -->
00:30:06,420
I'm sorry, my first
step would
be to keep the
pressure
509
00:30:06,430 -->
00:30:09,430
constant and
lower the
temperature, then
I lower the
510
00:30:09,440 -->
00:30:12,300
pressure, keeping
the
temperature
constant.

504
00:29:51,160 -->
00:29:54,590
I could decide first
of all to
511

00:30:12,310 -->
00:30:13,000
So there's my
intermediate
state there.
512
00:30:14,010 -->
00:30:17,820
This is one of many
paths.
513
00:30:17,830 -->
00:30:20,790
There's an infinite
number
of paths you could
take.
514
00:30:20,800 -->
00:30:24,630
You could take a
continuous
path, where you
have an
515
00:30:24,640 -->
00:30:29,320
infinite number of
equilibrium
points in between
the two, a
516
00:30:29,330 -->
00:30:33,670
smooth path,
where you drop
the
pressure and the
temperature

00:30:35,780 -->
00:30:41,010
All right, so when
you do
a problem, the
path is
519
00:30:41,020 -->
00:30:43,660
going to turn out
to be
extremely
important.
520
00:30:43,670 -->
00:30:48,780
How do you get
from the initial
state to the final
state?
521
00:30:48,790 -->
00:30:49,980
Define the initial
state.
522
00:30:49,990 -->
00:30:51,090
Define the final
state.
523
00:30:51,100 -->
00:30:52,610
Define the path.
524

You need that

00:42:38,970
So, the active part 741
of the

00:42:59,200
could be water.
And that property
could be the

00:43:06,120 -->

It could be the

746
00:43:10,440 -->
00:43:11,570
All right, so now
you have an
object.
747
00:43:11,580 -->
00:43:13,840
You've got a
property
that changes,
depending
748
00:43:13,850 -->
00:43:14,660
on the heat flow.
749
00:43:14,670 -->
00:43:16,770
It's going to tell
you

about the
temperature.
750
00:43:16,780 -->
00:43:18,720
Now you need to
define
the temperature
scales.
751
00:43:18,730 -->
00:43:23,700
So, you need some
reference
points to be able
to tell you,
752
00:43:23,710 -->
00:43:30,380
OK, this
temperature is 550
degrees Smith,
whatever.
753
00:43:30,390 -->
00:43:34,910
So, you assign
values to very
specific states of
matter and

00:43:39,710 -->
00:43:42,170
water, the
standard ones.
757
00:43:42,180 -->
00:43:43,720
And then an
interpolation
scheme.

764
00:44:03,780 -->
00:44:06,270
And if you go back
into the
1800's when
thermodynamics
was

758
00:43:43,730 -->
00:43:48,980
You need a
functional form
that
connects the value
at one state

765
00:44:06,280 -->
00:44:10,330
starting, there
were a zillion
different
temperatures
scales.

759
00:43:48,990 -->
00:43:53,100
of matter, the
freezing point
of water, to
another phase

766
00:44:10,340 -->
00:44:14,280
Everybody had
their own
favorite
temperature
scales.

760
00:43:53,110 -->
00:43:55,040
change, the boiling
point of water.

754
00:43:34,920 -->
00:43:37,150
call those the
reference
points for your
temperature.

761
00:43:55,050 -->
00:43:59,030
You can choose a
linear
interpolation or
quadratic,

755
00:43:37,160 -->
00:43:39,700
For instance,
freezing
of water or boiling
of

762
00:43:59,040 -->
00:44:02,230
but you've got to
choose it.

756

And it turns out


not to be so easy.

763
00:44:02,240 -->
00:44:03,770

767
00:44:14,290 -->

That's how he

00:45:33,830
Why not?
794
00:45:33,840 -->

He didn't want to

It turns out that 96

But, you know, his
experiment
wasn't so great,
and, you know,

798
00:45:44,320 -->
00:45:48,140
So let's multiply

812
00:46:34,910 -->
00:46:36,840
with 96, whatever.

That's how we got
