La termodinámica es una materia básica en un amplio abanico de estudios científicos y tecnológicos, así como una herramienta perfecta para ayudar a desarrollar el pensamiento crítico.
En este curso introductorio se presentan los conceptos más básicos de esta disciplina, de modo que, más adelante en tu formación, puedas comprender sin mayor dificultad las leyes de la termodinámica, que no se llegan a tratar en este curso.

What you'll learn
En este MOOC vas a tomar contacto con conceptos básicos de termodinámica:

  • Adquirirás práctica en el manejo de la ecuación de estado de los gases ideales, así como en el cálculo del trabajo.
  • Abordaremos los conceptos de equilibrio termodinámico y reversibilidad.
  • Estudiaremos casos concretos de procesos reversibles en gases ideales.

Syllabus

Semana 1: Introducción y conceptos fundamentales
Semana 2: Reversibilidad. Procesos reversibles en gases ideales
Semana 3: Trabajo en Termodinámica
Examen final

Prerequisites:
Para poder seguir este curso basta con tener conocimientos básicos relativos a algunos conceptos científicos: gas ideal, presión, volumen, temperatura, energía… así como las unidades en las que se miden todas estas magnitudes. Es conveniente que ya te hayas familiarizado con la ecuación de estado del gas ideal (PV=nRT), aunque no es imprescindible.
En cuanto a conocimientos matemáticos, necesitas saber cómo despejar una ecuación para calcular un parámetro concreto y cómo realizar conversiones de unidades. También debes tener ciertos conocimientos en cuanto a integración de funciones sencillas.

Cosmic Rays, Dark Matter, and the Mysteries of the Universe (edX)

Join us on a unique exploration of one of the universe’s deepest mysteries: cosmic rays. In the Universe, high-energy cosmic rays are violently propagating in space. While we know these cosmic rays come from outside of the solar system, exactly how and where they originate is a mystery. Professor Shoji Torii from Waseda University and many researchers from around the world, believe that understanding about their origin will help resolve the mysteries of the Universe, such as, supernova remnants, dark matter, and even the Universe’s evolution.
