Thermodynamic Flashcards

1
Q

can be defined as the study of energy, energy transformations and its relation to matter
The name thermodynamics stems from the Greek words therme (heat) and dynamis (power)

Q

is the transfer of thermal energy between systems or objects due to a temperature difference. It flows from a hotter object to a cooler one.

flows when there is a difference in temperature.
For example, when you place a hot object in contact with a cooler one, heat transfers until thermal equilibrium is reached.

Q

is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. It indicates how hot or cold an object is.

Q

is a state in which two or more systems (or objects) in contact with each other no longer exchange heat. In this state, all the systems involved have reached the same temperature, and there is no net flow of thermal energy between them.

Q

If two systems, A and B, are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, C, then A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define temperature as a measurable and consistent property.

Q

Methods of Heat Transfer

A

Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact in solids; depends on material properties.

Convection: Heat transfer through the movement of fluids; involves circulation due to density differences.

Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves; does not require a medium and can occur in a vacuum.
