Overview
Explore advanced thermodynamics concepts in this comprehensive lecture focusing on ideal mixture behavior and mixing processes. Delve into mixture properties derived from partial properties, understand the Lennard-Jones potential and its relationship to ideal gas behavior, and master the Gibbs-Dalton and Amagat laws. Learn how to calculate entropy changes in irreversible mixing processes and analyze work extraction from reversible mixing. Starting with a review of stable-equilibrium properties and chemical potentials, progress through isothermobaric mixing, partial pressures, and intermolecular forces before examining ideal gas mixtures in detail. The lecture concludes with practical applications in calculating mixing entropy and extracting adiabatic availability. For optimal learning efficiency, viewing at 1.5x speed is recommended by the instructor.
