2 Thermodynamics
2.1 Ideal Gas Equation
This equation is valid under the assumption that the molecules in the
gas are far enough apart that intermolecular forces are negligible.
P = RT

2.2 Internal Energy and Enthalpy

de = C v dT
dh = C p dT
h = e + Pv

In a Calorically Perfect Gas the Specific Heats are constants and so:
e = CvT
h = C pT

2.3 First Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes
form
Thus for a closed system,
Heat Added Work Done by System on Surroundings = Change in
Internal Energy
q w = de

is conserved.

4 Management Techniques
Stuff is always clearer when you write it down.

4.1 Work Management

4.1.1

Gantt charts

For small projects these are more useful for the Project Manager to
make sure they understand all the tasks in the schedule and when
they are going to be carried out. Needs constant review and
amendment.

4.1.2

Risk Registers

4.1.3

Barrier Identification and Dismantlement

For a given goal:

1. Identify the barriers which obstruct successful completion.

2. Plan actions to remove barriers.

3. Execute actions.

4.2 People Management

4.2.1

Debating

Principal: Turn opinion into fact as much as possible.

When a difference in opinion arises which could be decided by a
statistic:
Raise an action to research the statistic.
Decided collectively on a group opinion based on the research.
I.e. the opinion which the group entity holds, this can be
different from a personal opinion.
