Thermodynamics Flashcards
Thermodynamics
Reversible process entropy
Entropy remains constant
Irreversible process entropy
Entropy of system increases
Boltzman constant same unit as
Entropy and boltzman constant equal to R/Na
Triple point of water
273.16K
Net entropy is
Always positive
Efficiency of carnot engine depends on
Temperature of hot and cold reservoirs and is independent of nature of working substance
Efficiency always less than one
Cuz absolute temperature not attainanble and no engine is more efficient than carnot engine
Refrigerator is
A heat engine operating in reverse order it transfers heat from low temperature compartment to high temperature surroundings with help of external work
The reason for inability to use heat reservoir of oceans and atmosphere
There is no reservoir at a temperature lower than any of two
Evaporation and liquefaction perdormed slowly are
Practically reversible and isothermal
Changes involving friction and dissipation of energy through convection conduction and radiation are
Irreversible
Molar specific heat at constant pressure is ______ than at constant volume
More
Adiabat ______ isotherm
Lower
At constant pressure
Isobaric process
At constant volume
Isochoric process
