Engines Flashcards
BLANK- converts heat into some other energy.
Heat engine
BLANK- the amount of useful work it can produce based on the amount of heat that we give on it.
Thermal efficiency
BLANK- The second law states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it, is wasted.
Second law of thermodynamics
BLANK- written in his book there is the concept of the most efficient steam engine possible.
Sadi Carnot
BLANK was a German mathematician and physicist who introduced the concept of entropy around 1850.
Rudolf Clausius
BLANK is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that’s unavailable for doing work. It’s also the measure of the disorder, or randomness, of a system.
Entropy
BLANK - is a sequence of repetitive processes.
Cycle
The process that your fridge uses today is based on the work of 19th century American inventors BLANK.
Oliver Evans and Jacob Perkins
BLANK - helps to visualize the process.
Phase Diagram
The BLANK is a simple refrigerator made from one earthen pot set inside another, with a layer of wet sand in between them.
Zeer pot
BLANK - it explains how the fluid flows in a medium. I.E: How food coloring flows, how air flow as the car approaches. It is the study how fluids respond to the forces exerted to them.
Fluid Mechanics
BLANK - interaction between a medium and a flow. A thing moving from one place.
Transfer
BLANK - the force applied to an area or object or a substance.
Stress
BLANK - force is perpendicular to the surface of the object.
Normal Stress
If it is parallel it is BLANK stress.
