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.

Hypersonics - from Shock Waves to Scramjets (edX)

Understand flight at speeds greater than Mach 5 and discover how to analyse the performance of a scramjet. A flow is called hypersonic if the Mach number is greater than 5. This means that the flow speed is more than five times the speed of sound. In air at room temperature, the speed of sound is around 340 m/s, so a Mach 5 flow would have a flow speed of 1.7 km/s or just over 6,000 km/h. When a rocket launches a satellite into earth orbit, when a probe enters the atmosphere of another planet or when an aircraft is propelled by a supersonic combustion ramjet engine (a scramjet), hypersonic flows are encountered.

How Stuff Moves, Part 3: Wave Motion (edX)

WHAT IS “HOW STUFF MOVES”? Mechanics is the study of how things move. It was the first quantitative science to achieve wide power to predict behavior, including things never before directly observed. Newton, Leibniz, and others invented calculus to describe motion and we will find both differential and integral calculus extremely useful throughout this course.

Topology in Condensed Matter: Tying Quantum Knots (edX)

Get a simple and hands-on overview of topological insulators, Majoranas, and other topological phenomena. The idea behind topological systems is simple: if there exists a quantity, which cannot change in an insulating system where all the particles are localized, then the system must become conducting and obtain propagating particles when the quantity (called a "topological invariant") finally changes.
