Physics 1A - Thermodynamics - Presented 2016

Year level:	First year, first semester.
Duties:	Create and present eleven one-hour lectures and four one-hour tutorials.
	Prepare MyUni quizzes, assignment questions, tutorial problems and
	associated solutions. Set and mark the final exam.
Material:	Ideal gas temperature, Zeroth law, expansion of materials, specific heat, latent heat,
	heat transfer, radiation, First law, kinetic theory, $P$-$V$-$T$ & thermodynamic processes.
Innovations:	Increased relevance through real-life demonstrations of thermodynamics.
	Explored unfamiliar territory with liquid nitrogen experiments.
	Stimulated interest by linking thermodynamic convection to Chaos and illustrating
	the Lorenz attractor via http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/theory/staff/leinweber/teaching/ advanced computer visualization techniques.
	Created an ideal-gas simulator to present and reinforce kinetic theory concepts.
	See https://youtu.be/RF-RHTWSxN8 for an example simulation.
