This lecture covers: Jacobian determinants, cyclic relation, Mayer relation. Availability functions and criteria for the stability of equilibrium. LeChatelier-Braun principle (part II). Maximum work from a nonequilibrium state, minimum work to produce a nonequilibrium state.
Instructor suggests to set viewing speed at 1.5 for faster learning.
