See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFqj3Yfxzkk&lc=3zpp4fwx2n5_Qr5HLdtatZdT8jE2i3KuULD8BW7PS_g for a nice derivation also

In this video I continue with my series of tutorial videos on Thermal Physics and Thermodynamics.  It's pitched at undergraduate level and while it is mainly aimed at physics majors, it should be useful to anybody taking a first course in thermodynamics such as engineers etc..

The course covers topics such as the Ideal Gas Law, Entropy, Enthalpy, Gibbs' and Helmholtz' Free Energy, Heat Capacity, Einstein Solids, Taylor and MacLaurin Series / Expansions, phase transformations, thermodynamics identities, the Clausius Clapeyron Relation, Joule Thompson Throttling, Adiabatic Cooling, the paramagnet and of course the all important Laws of Thermodynamics

Thank you for watching and I hope that this matches your requirements. Please feel free to provide feedback via comments and share with your friends.
