Thermodynamics Exam Bundle

Thermodynamics - The relationship between properties of a substance and the 'work' and 'heat' which cause a change of state System - A collection of matter (substance or working fluid) enclosed within a defined boundary Boundary - A surface (real or imaginary) which separates the ...

closed system - A system in which no matter is allowed to enter or leave but energy can open system - a system in which exchanges of matter or energy occur across system boundaries - the system is free to interact with the environment isolated system - A system that can exchange neith...

Total energy of an isolated system is Constant State functions their paths only depends on the initial and final state of the system Coupling of chemical reactions occurs when The product of the first reaction becomes a substrate for the second one Information code can be Continuo...

thermodynamics - is the transformation of heat into work and vice versa. focus on initial and final states (steady states) First Law of Thermo - energy (heat and work) is only transformed. Neither created nor destroyed. 2nd Law of Thermo - s= entropy m(dot)= mass working substance ...

Conduction - The transfer of heat within an object or between objects by molecular activity, without any net external motion Convection - Process by which, in a fluid being heated, the warmer part of the mass will rise and the cooler portions will sink. Energy - The ability to do work...

What is the first law of thermodynamics? - Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed. A thermodynamic property. What is the second law of thermodynamics? - Energy has a quality AND quantity. In decreasing quality of energy. Hot > cold What is cla...
