Thermodynamics Flashcards
The graphical representation of the change in state of a gas by thermodynamic process is called
Indicator diagram
Enthalpy is
Measure of total heat content of the system
Entropy is
Measure of disorderness in the system.
The parameters which determines the state or condition of a system are called
Thermodynamic state variable or thermodynamic coordinates
Isotherm
The pressure volume curve for a fixed temperature
The state of thermodynamics system is characterised by its
Internal energy
Internal energy can change through two modes
Work and heat
First law of thermodynamics
dQ= dU+dW
Molar specific heat capacity of the substance
C = S/n = dQ/ndT
C depends on the nature of the substance, its temperature and the conditions under which heat is supplied
For a mole of solid the total energy is
U = 3kbT x na
=3RT
kbT X na
R
Which does not agree with predicted values 3R
Carbon
Thermodynamics is a
Macroscopic science
Internal energy equals to
The algebraic sum of kinetic and potential energy
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
Two systems in thermal equilibrium with a third system separately are in thermal equilibrium with each other
