Heat and Diffusion Interaction: Diffusive and Convective Fluxes in Advanced Thermodynamics - Lecture 22

MIT OpenCourseWare via YouTube

Overview

Explore advanced thermodynamics concepts in this 92-minute lecture focusing on heat and diffusion interactions in continuum systems. Delve into balance equations for extensive properties, understanding barycentric velocity, and the relationship between diffusive and convective fluxes. Master the fundamental principles of nonequilibrium processes in heat, mass, and charge transfer, while examining parallels between heat transfer and chemical kinetics. Learn about the continuum assumption, Knudsen number, and the Gibbs-Duhem relation in various forms. Understand how heat interactions are defined and how Clausius inequalities are proven and generalized. Examine the complex interplay between energy flux and heat in continuum systems, with detailed explanations of local-equilibrium conditions and bulk-flow relations. For optimal learning efficiency, viewing at 1.5x speed is recommended by the instructor.
