Performers:
Lectures by Professor Jeffrey C. Grossman (Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology).
Summary:
Lectures describe the world of thermodynamics and the laws that bind them together. Thermodynamics means '
heat
in motion', and the transformation of energy of all forms into, and from,
heat
is at the core of the energy revolution and fundamentally what makes human civilization thrive today.
