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 LIGHT EMMITING DIODE ?

LED is a very commonly used device nowadays we use it in various application because of its small size and,cheap prize its very popular among peoples . we use it even in special television set for screen as LED pixels which is useful for clarity for distance audience . basically it is a diode which is set to be in forward condition .   Full form of LED is LIGHT EMITTING DIODE . As evident from name it is diode who produce photon when voltage is given to it . this type of diode is not made by generally used semiconductor's like silicon and germanium it manufactured by arsenic phosphorus and gallium . various types of color can can be produced by changing quantities of material it made up of .  WORKING - Basically it is like a normal diode just difference with it produces light when a forward voltage applied to it . as we know  electron needs energy to jump from lower orbit to higher orbit ,  the working of LED is typically reverse of this process electr...
