Test 1 Flashcards
System
Anything that we want to measure
It is separated from the surroundings by system boundaries
Open System
region in space that allows mass to cross bounderies
Closed System
contains a fixed amount of mass
Pressure absolute equation
P_abs = P_gauge + P_atm
η (efficiency)
Power out divided by power in
Different types of phase changes
Melting, Evaporation, Freezing, Deposition, Sublimation
Melting
Solid -> liquid
Evaporation
Liquid -> Vapor
Freezing
liquid -> solid
Deposition
Vapor -> solid
Sublimation
Solid -> vapor
Can pressure be negative?
No, the minimum is 0 psia.
what is the quality of a substance at x = 0
Saturated Liquid
what is the quality of a substance at x = 1
Saturated Vapor
How do you calculate the change in potential energy when an object is lifted?
ΔPE=mgΔh
Equation for v (specific volume)
V/m
How to solve for u (internal energy)
u = u_f + x(u_g-u_f)
Interpolation equation
(v_known - v_f) / (v_g-v_f)
What is the Triple Point
the specific temperature and pressure at which all three phases of a substance (solid, liquid, and gas) can coexist in equilibrium
equation for ideal gasses
PV = mRT
