Thermodynamics and Physical Chemistry Song by Flanders and Swann

Think thermodynamics and physical chemistry are not much fun?

Here is a song by Flanders and Swann recorded many years ago that explains the laws of thermodynamics very clearly. They say:

The First Law of Thermodynamics: Heat is work and work is heat

That is all there is to it really.

Then they sing,

The Second Law of thermodynamics: Heat cannot by its self pass from one body to a hotter body

Then they go on to jazz it up…
