Course Summary:

Electrical Power Distribution 30:18 minutes

Trace the distribution of electrical power from a substation to your home. Begin with the transformer, discovering how this crucial device functions. By the end of this lecture, you will be able to read a utility pole like a book, analyzing the different services attached to these ubiquitous structures.

Everyday Thermodynamics: Refrigeration 31:12 minutes

Unravel the secret of refrigeration by focusing on the connection between heat, temperature, work, and energy. Then see how these thermodynamic concepts apply to the vapor-compression cycle in your refrigerator or air conditioner. Discover that a heat pump operates the same way.

Learning Objective:

By the end of this course the student will be able to read a utility pole like a book by analyzing the different services attached to these ubiquitous structures, and understand how thermodynamic concepts apply to the vapor-compression cycle in your refrigerator or air conditioner.
