Q

Factors that affect the rate of thermal energy transfer?

A
  1. Distance from thermal eq (when distance increases, thermal transfer increases(Joules/sec))
  2. Surface area (more =more)

Q

Explain

W=-P(ext)🔼V

-p external multiplied by delta v

A

W - is the amount of work transferred

🔼V - the change in volume

P(ext) - external pressure

Q

How do you calculate the efficiency of something

A

Efficiency = transferred desired energy / energy paid for

=what you wanted / what you paid for it

Q

What is the difference between exergy efficiency and energy efficiency

A

Exergy is how close the amount of work is to the max work .

Energy efficiency is how much work you got vs how much you paid for

Q

Define adiabatic

A

An adiabatic change is one where q=0. We can force a change to be a change to be adiabatic by insulting it
