Second Law of Thermodynamics - Thermodynamics

Hello Everyone!


This video is the sixth one in a series of videos discussing the engineering thermodynamics. Here, I will discuss the second law of thermodynamics. Introducing concepts like thermal reservoirs, heat engines, refrigerators and heat pumps. Discussing thermal efficiency for heat engines and coefficient of performance for refrigerators and heat pumps, reversible and irreversible processes, Carnot cycle and reversible thermal efficiency.


Make sure to check the video below where I solve a few sample problems of the topic of second law of thermodynamics:
