Summary of La Importancia de la Termodinámica. Diálogos USB # 72.

00:00:00 - 00:20:00

In this video, various professors discuss the importance of thermodynamics in different industries. Thermodynamics is the science of energy transformations, and its importance was recently highlighted by the global energy crisis. The two laws of thermodynamics, which state that energy is conserved and degraded, are still valid. This dialogue provides an overview of the two laws of thermodynamics and their importance.

• 00:00:00 In this dialogue, Maria Gabriela Gomez, Decana of Professional Studies at Simon Bolivar University, discusses the importance of thermodynamics. Professor Libera responds and states that thermodynamics is the science of energy transformations, and that its importance was recently highlighted by the global energy crisis. Professor Gomez then goes on to say that the two laws of thermodynamics, which state that energy is conserved and degraded, are still valid. She also explains that the second law, which states that energy cannot be created out of nothing, is often mistaken for science being able to create energy out of nothing. This dialogue provides an overview of the two laws of thermodynamics and their importance.
• 00:05:00 The importance of thermodynamics is discussed in this video, with the first law stating that energy is conserved, and the second law stating that if it is true that energy is conserved, then it is degraded in any process of transferring or exchanging energy. In the case of vehicles, for example, the energy contained in the chemical reaction of the fuel is of high value, because when this reaction is carried out, the gases released no longer serve as a fuel and so the energy capacity to move a vehicle with these gases of escape, which is the monoxide and dioxide of that amount of things that escape from it, is lost the heat that was generated too, is not energy that can be used, then we see that the sum of the net energy in a system never changes, but the quality of the energy in this way, there is another way of formulating the second law, which is possibly the most widespread, the most general, which says that in an isolated system disorder never diminishes, that always there is an increase in disorder. In termodinamica, to measure or quantify what we call disorder, we use a very important variable, called entropy. Atropine is a measure of disorder, in the sense that the value of our
• 00:10:00 The importance of thermodynamics is discussed in this video, with various examples of its application in various fields. For example, engineering chemistry is one of the fields in which thermodynamics is used to understand physical and chemical changes. In biomedicine, thermodynamics is used to design pharmaceuticals and understand how proteins behave. Finally, the second law of thermodynamics is mentioned as an example of an important principle in classical thermodynamics.
• 00:15:00 The importance of thermodynamics is discussed in this video, as is the theory that information is created by Gloria. Information is not simply organization, but is also entropy in reverse. When we maintain information, for example, by saving it on our laptop or iPad, we are also organizing things and this takes effort or costs energy over time. I know that it won't continue to work that way, but, for example, my school's philosophy is that Sudoku is too difficult for students to solve simply based on the information they are missing. The fewer blank squares there are, the more information is missing, and entropy increases. There are more ways to do things in more disorder, and this makes the Sudoku problem harder. It's easy to see how beginners, intermediates, and experts would all see the same level of difficulty, depending on the number of squares filled in white. This idea has been reflected in a concept of the universe having a beginning and an end, which is basically philosophy. It has also been addressed in a little bit of religious thought, in that if thermodynamics says entropy always grows, at some point it had to have begun to grow. Therefore, there must have been a moment when entropy was at zero. If that's because energy
• 00:20:00 The importance of thermodynamics was discussed in this video, which included conversations withUSB professors about its importance in different industrial processes. Thank you for participating, and we hope to see you again soon!
