The First & Zeroth Laws of Thermodynamics: Crash Course Engineering #9

The video explores energy conversion in daily life and engineering, focusing on thermodynamics. It introduces the zeroth and first laws of thermodynamics, explaining concepts like thermal equilibrium and energy conservation. The video also discusses different types of energy, such as kinetic, potential, and internal energy, and how they apply to closed and open systems in engineering contexts.

What are the implications of energy conversions in engineering designs, such as hydroelectric dams?

Discuss the role of thermodynamics in both mechanical and chemical engineering.

How do adiabatic and isochoric processes simplify the first law of thermodynamics?
