it can be defined as the science of energy
thermodynamics
can be viewed as the ability to cause changes
energy
therme and dynamis meaning
heat and power
law that states that energy can change from one form to another; energy cannot be created or destroyed
conservation of energy principle
the change in the energy content of a body is equal to the difference between the energy __________ and energy _________
input and output
is simply an expression of the conversation of energy principle, and it asserts that energy is a thermodynamic property.
first law of thermodynamics
asserts that energy has quality as well as quantity, and actual processes occur in the direction of decreasing quality of energy.
2nd law of thermodynamics
a substance consists of a large number of particles called _____________
molecules
the macroscopic approach that does not require a knowledge of the behavior of individual particles is called _____________. It is also in direct and easy way.
classical thermodynamics
A more elaborate approach, based on the average behavior of large groups of individual particles is called ______________
statistical thermodynamics
Any physical quantity can be characterized by ____________
dimensions
the magnitude assigned to dimension is called ________
units
basic dimensions such as mass, length, and temperature are selected as _________
primary or fundamental dimensions
dimensions such as velocity and volume which are expressed in terms of the primary dimensions are called ____________________
secondary or derived dimensions
two sets of units that are used today
SI and English system
also known as USCS (United States Customary System)
English System
also known as the International System
SI
is a simple and logical system based on a decimal relationship between the various units, and it is being used for engineering work including England.
SI (International System)
has no apparent systematic numerical base
English system
1 lbm = kg
0.454 kg
formula of newton’s 2nd law
F=ma
1 slug = lbm
