Various forms of Energy are: Heat Energy A heat is defined as a transfer (flow) of thermal energy across certain boundary (for example, from a hot body to cold via the area of their contact. Heat may be defined as energy which moves from an object having ...
Energy is the capacity to do work. Any form of energy can be transformed into another form. Energy has been expressed in several different units such as ergs and calories. At present, the accepted unit of measurement for energy is the SI unit of energy, ...
Intensive Property: An intensive property is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. I.e. An intensive quantity (also intensive variable) is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the ...
The state of a system in which properties have definite, unchanged values as long as external conditions are unchanged is called an equilibrium state. Thermodynamic Equilibrium takes place when the same temperature exists throughout the system. The states of dynamic equilibrium are dealt by Classical ...
There are two main types of thermodynamic processes: reversible process and the irreversible process. Irreversible Process: The process is said to be an irreversible process if it cannot return the system and the surroundings to their original conditions when the process is reversed. The irreversible process is ...
Thermodynamic process The operation by which a system changes form one state to another is called a process. Whenever a system changes from one state to another it is accompanied by change in energy. In case of open systems, there may be change of matter ...
A thermodynamic state is a set of values of properties of a thermodynamic system that must be specified to reproduce the system. The individual parameters are known as state variables, state parameters or thermodynamic variables. Once a sufficient set of thermodynamic variables have been specified, ...
In general, Thermodynamics involves the study of various systems. A system is a collection of objects, and there are a lot of hurdles in the way it is defined. However, in thermodynamics, it is a much more convenient to define it. A thermodynamic system is ...
