Introduction to Thermodynamics Part 1 Flashcards
the properties of the system are their average values
macroscopic approach
properties like velocity, momentum, and kinetic energy
microscopic approach
built the world’s first engine
Thomas Savery
large numbers of variables are required to describe the system
microscopic approach
the properties are defined for each molecule individually
microscopic approach
It simply states that “during an interaction, energy can change from one form to another but the total amount of energy remains constant”
conservation of energy principle
few properties required to describe the system
macroscopic approach
published Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, introducing the concept of reversibility and mathematical analysis of engine efficiency
Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot
One of the most fundamental laws of nature is the
conservation of energy principle
uses the pressure-temperature correlation to build a bone digester
Denis Papin
known as the “Father of Thermodynamics.”
known as the “Father of Thermodynamics.”
boiling point of water at the summit of mt. everest
68 degree celsius
energy cannot be created or destroyed.
First Law of Thermodynamics
Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot published?
Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire
a way to assign a number or measurement to that dimension
unit
required advanced statistical and mathematical method
microscopic approach
simply called metric units
Le Systeme International d’Unites or International System
requires simple mathematical formulas for analyzing the system
macroscopic approach
he conceived of the idea of a piston and cylinder engine
Denis Papin
The Law of Conservation of Mass was put forward by
Mikhail Lomonosov
dynamis
power
independently forwarded the law of conservation of mass
Antoine Lavoisier
approach used in the study of classical thermodynamics
macroscopic approach
approach where a quantity of matter is considered without accounting the events occurring at the molecular level
macroscopic approach
pressure and temperature properties are needed to describe the system
macroscopic approach
scientific contributions of carnot
Carnot heat engine, Carnot theorem, and Carnot efficiency
a closed vessel with a tightly fitting lid that confines steam until a high pressure is generated
bone digester
a measure of a physical variable (without numerical values)
dimension
is the science of energy transfer
thermodynamics
a science that describes how thermal energy is converted from one form to the other and how it affects the matter
thermodynamics
large numbers of variables are required to describe the system
microscopic approach
built the Newcomen and Watt engines
Thomas Savery
concerned with the overall behavior of the system
macroscopic
approach used in the study of statistical thermodynamics
microscopic approach
Carnot also introduced the concept of?
reversibility and mathematical analysis of engine efficiency
approach where matter is considered to be comprised of a large number of tiny particles known as molecules
microscopic approach
therme
heat
