Lately many students come from diverse fields and backgrounds but there are a few fundamentals of thermodynamics that everyone\u00a0should have in their bank of knowledge in order to excel in the energy field.\u00a0 I am in the process of recording some (hopefully) short (10-15 minute) videos that aim to get you up to speed in a variety of areas I think are critical to understand in the energy field.\u00a0 I’m selfishly doing this to save class time but even if you aren’t enrolled in one of my courses I hope you will find the information here helpful. Enjoy! (BTW please be patient! I’m working on these in my spare (LOL) time!) Hopefully I’m not decreasing attendance in my lectures!!<\/p>\n
