THERMO Flashcards
Science that deals with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy
THERMODYNAMICS
Thermodynamics was coined by
JAMES PRESCOTT JOULE
Father of thermodynamics
NICOLAS SADI CARNOT
Liquid that is non saturated
SUBCOOLED LIQUID
The phase of liquid that can absorb as much heat as it can without vaporizing
SATURATED LIQUID
Property that is dependent on the substance energy content
Measure of average kinetic energy of the different particles in a sample of matter
TEMPERATURE
When liquid inside a thermometer is being heated it
EXPANDS
Celsius scale is named after
ANDERS CELSIUS
Fahrenheit is named after _________ and was the inventor of the first Mercury thermometer that we use now a days
GABRIEL DANIEL FARENHEIT
Kelvin scale is named after
SIR WILLIAM THOMSON OR LORD KELVIN
Ranking scale is named after
WILLIAM JOHN RANKINE
Internal energy in transit from one body of matter to another by virtue of a temperature difference between them
HEAT
He proposed that heat is just another form of energy that can be convertible into mechanical form
JULIUS ROBERT MAYER
Created the Law of Conservation of Energy
HERMAN von HELMHOLTZ
A time when temperature of both system and surrounding reaches the same value
THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM
It is the temperature at which the molecules are believed to stop moving
ABSOLUTE ZERO
True pressure ,measured above a perfect vacuum
ABSOLUTE PRESSURE
Pressure measured from the level of atmospheric pressure by most pressure recording instrument like pressure gage and open ended manometer
Gage Pressure
Pressure of the surrounding
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
The minimum pressure needed to liquefy gas at its critical temperature
CRITICAL PRESSURE
The ratio of the density of a certain substance to the density of standard substance at the same temperature
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
Transmission of heat that takes place from molecule to molecule through a body or through bodies in contact
CONDUCTION
Transmission of heat due to motion of molecule of the medium
CONVECTION
Transmission of heat that takes place without any intervening medium
RADIATION
