force F acting through a moment arm r generates a
torque T of

Answer 25

SHAFT WORK

Question 25

are point functions (i.e., they depend
on the state only, and not on how a system
reaches that state), and they have exact
differentials designated by the symbol d. A small
change in volume, for example, is represented by
dV, and the total volume change during a process
between states 1 and 2 is

Answer 25

Properties

Question 25

The net change (increase or decrease) in the

total energy of the system during a process is equal
to the difference between the total energy entering
and the total energy leaving the system during that

process

Answer 25

ENERGY BALANCE

Question 26

The determination of the energy change of a system
during a process involves the evaluation of the
energy of the system at the beginning and at the end

of the process, and taking their difference

Answer 26

ENERGY CHANGE OF A SYSTEM

Question 27

Heat transfer to a system (heat
gain) increases the energy of the molecules and
thus the internal energy of the system

Answer 27

Heat Transfer, Q

Question 28

An energy interaction that is
not caused by a temperature difference between
a system and its surroundings is work

Answer 28

Work Transfer, W

Question 29

Mass flow in and out of the
system serves as an additional mechanism of
energy transfer. When mass enters a system,
the energy of the system increases because
mass carries energy with it
