Thermodynamics Flashcards
1
Q
Internal energy
A
The sum of random distribution of kinetic and potential energies within a system of molecules
2
Q
Change in internal energy
A
^U=32/k^T
3
Q
Workdone by a gas
A
Whenever it expands
W=p^v
F=pa
W=fd
W=p^v
-ve value for workdone by gas
4
Q
First law of thermodynamics
A
The increase in internal energy = energy supplied by heating + the work done on the system
5
Q
First law of thermodynamics equation
A
^U= q + W
