BEGINNING OF THERMODYNAMICS ?

Thermodynamics is the the science of energy . in which we study about how energy could  be converted into  primary interest with high efficiency .

although The first commercially-successful engine that could supply continuous power to a machine, was the atmospheric engine, invented around 1712 , but there was not proper scientific explanation which can describe how system is running and at what condition's it could get more efficiency .

First scientific formulation of thermodynamic was made by a french military Engineer Sadi Carnot often described as Father of Thermodynamic . He published his work in a book  -
Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire and on Machines Fitted to Develop that Power . 

He was the first person talked about how steam engine's or system efficiency could be increased by increasing the temperature difference between source body and sink body . 

source body - Is the body from which system takes heat as input to convert it into primary interest  also known as higher thermal reservoir .

Sink - after converting input heat in to primary interest remaining heat will be ejected to a different body known as sink (generally environment) also known as lower thermal reservoir .  


More the difference between the temperature between source and sink more will be the efficiency of the system, this discovery also satisfy THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY .

EFFICIENCY -
This implies toward one important result that regardless of fuel used in system the efficiency of the system depends on the temperature of source and sink  .

SUM OF INFINITE SERIES BY RAMANUJAN

I n this blog i am going to discuss about something very strange important but strange a master piece from a Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan , who who discovered something mind blowing .   So if i ask you what is the sum of all natural number more likely you will answer  "infinity" and like always genius personalities has something different opinion just like srinivasa Ramanujan . Lets see how                    1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 . . . . . . Became  -1/12 Let's take a infinite series S1 -                     S 1 = 1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1-1+1 . . . . . . lets do little maneuver with it like we always do in mathematics -  S1 = (1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1). . . . . .  we are just taking brackets at first on "plus one" and than closing it after...

DIFFRENCE BETWEEN HEAT AND WORK !

H EAT and WORK plays vital role in thermodynamics. Its very common misunderstanding between peoples that they are ENERGY but they are not energy they are medium by which we transfer energy   .  although they d on't seem to be identical because heat   is thermal property and work is mechanical property but they are same  , at microscopic level they both are same phenomenon .     HEAT   They are just moving of molecules , having difference is only , heat is moving of molecules disorderly in any direction OR in other words heat is microscopic collision of molecules . WORK   Work is moving of molecules  in only single direction OR in other words work is m acroscopic push and pulls ( given by product of force and displacement ) . both shares same SI unit as JOULE . We termed work as high grade energy and heat as low grade energy  Because in reversible or irreversible process we can convert work 100 % in heat ...

WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY ?

N anotechnology is the science of manipulation of matter according to our need at the Nanoscale of the order of 10^-2 . it have tremendous possibilities in near future because of its ability of making advance material  with unique chemical property which suits according to condition   .  This term technically first time introduced by physicist Richard Feynman in 1959 in his lecture with topic of There is plenty of room at the bottom . but at that time technology was not enough to implementation of his idea in practical application's . Primarily there is two type of approaches we use to construct anything  - I)  Top-to-bottom approach  II) Bottom-to-top approach Top-to-bottom approach :- when we cutoff resource to make our desirable shape is known as Top-to-bottom approach ; Ex- wooden chair .  Bottom-to-top approach :- when we construct structure by starting from its minute cells to approaching required shape of structure is known...
