Thermodynamics is the subject I most wish I retained more of from college. Studied just enough to pass, then promptly forgot most of it. And since it’s a subject that basically never comes up afterwards unless you’re doing pretty specialized work, it’s pretty much all gone.

I’d like to make much better versions of joking-but-not-joking meta-shitposts like this. Complete with Gibbs free energy calculations, shitposting efficiency etc.

fwiw (imo) the right way at thermodynamics is from statistical mechanics / information theory so you have to reteach yourself thermo a lot if you do use it

The science of thermodynamics is a branch of physics concerned with Heat (thermo) & Work-Done (dynamics). The science of #thermodynamics has nothing to do with statistical mechanics or information Learn thermodynamics goo.gl/xbURK3

It’s probably even more basic. Undergrad physics and engineering both cover the connection. I recall a lecture or two.

Our new Twitter friend has “30 years in oil and gas” and is a chartered engineer so presumably they didn’t use to teach the connection back in his day.
