superb explanation. Been confused for more than a decade. Now i understand.

[Youwh]

That was so good! Who knew you could get THAT MUCH out of an approximate two minute video!

[tiagoverissimo]

Great explanation: short and clear. Thank you and BRAVO!

[gracedreifuerst]

I'm cramming for my biophysics exam. you explained this in less than 2 minutes better then my professor in 30 minutes

[thanismurugathas]

what a hero. i was confused so much until this video

[asdasvcxvwe]

spent more than 4 hours trying to understand the Adiabatic cooling and still didn't get it until i watched your video. UC Berkeley FTW. thanks

[soonclass]

I thought it was difficult, but now it is very easy. Thank You!

[gooddeedsleadto]

Why have you stopped your great videos, short & sweet, on entropy & thermodynamics?
We need to learn a lot more from you. Thanks a million.
It is not flattery, I really mean it.

Need a video like this >>>>

Charles's law vs Adiabatic process ..showing pressure and temperature changes

[anthonyskrobul]

I wish my P-Chem teacher had explained adiabatic expansion/compression this well.

[kevingaldamez]

I love your simple explanation! thank you for your time! I'll be watching more of your videos.

[dekarthegreat]

This dude could explain literally anything to me and I'd be a savant by the end.

I swear to god it's that moustache

[pajarroto]

Thumbs up if you just can't stop watching this great explanation

[moaazabdullah]

Excellent well done 😊 and Thank u so much u cleared all my concepts

[mobenamtois]

So more work so air moves faster instead of getting hotter???

[BearisthaBest]

can someone please help me this makes no sense by definition the temperature changes as pressure does, but how does the temperature change without losing or gaining heat. maybe its because im thinking on the molecular level but i just dont get it.

[yuvrajsingh]

Other teachers takes 1hour to teach the same while he takes less than 2 min for clearing concept of expansion and compression.

[radhabhandare]

tq so much plzzz keep going and help us like this only

[Astro-X]

adiabatic compression makes no sense, how can the gas get smaller by itself while heating itself up without outside influence? Unless you're talking about gravity in stellar material

[saleplains]

lol teacher takes 40 minutes and i get nothing. this guy does it in 1:46 and it all makes sense
