Some energy will always be lost through thermal energy in any exchange

19
Q

A

Submersion of an entire system in liquid to increase external pressure and decrease volume

20
Q

Transfer from one energy state to another

A

Always involves the application of a force

21
Q

Storage of mechanical energy as gravitational energy

A

Rotation of a circular surface to raise an object on its outer edge

23
Q

Second law of thermodynamics

A

Given work in a closed system, the final state will always have less potential energy than the initial state

Everything tends to a point of lowest stored energy

Which means, for any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases
Also that thermal energy cannot travel from a cold area to a warm area
And finally, in any closed system, the entropy of the system will either remain constant or increase, but never decreases

24
Q

Zeroth law of themodynamics

A

If two separate systems both have the same amount of energy as a third system, then all three they have the same amount of energy

25
Q

First law of thermodynamics

A

The increase in internal energy of a closed system is equal to the difference of the heat supplied to the system and the work done by it: ΔU = Q - W

Which means that all energy is conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed, only transfered from one state to another

And by adding heat to the system, you either increase internal energy or you cause work to be done within the system

26
Q

Transfer of mechanical energy into thermal energy

A

Natural product of mechanical energy

Some energy will always be lost through thermal energy in any exchange

27
Q

Entropy

A

A thermodynamic function that increases with the number of energetically equivalent ways to arrange the components of a system to achieve a particular state
S=k*ln(W)

28
Q

Work

A

The use of energy to create a force
Given in NewtonMeters, the product of force and displacement or the integral of Force as a function of displacement when graphed against eachother
W=F*Δs=∫F(Δs)

29
Q

Third Law of Thermodynamics

A

As a system approaches absolute zero the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value and it is therefore impossible to reduce any system to absolute zero in a finite series of operations.
The entropy of a perfect crystal of an element in its most stable form tends to zero as the temperature approaches absolute zero.

30
Q

Enthalpy

A

Sum of the internal energy to its pressure and volume

31
Q

The amount of energy in the system that will actually be used for work and not lost as heat in a system of constant temperature but change pressure or volume
A=U-T(S)
