Laws of thermodynamics

Cards (34)

  • An open system includes the transfer and exchange of both matter and energy with the system's surroundings.
  • Closed system - energy, in the form of light can enter.
  • Isolated system - there is no interaction between the system and surroundings.
  • Isolated system - There is no mass or energy transfer across the system boundary.
  • system - the part where we focus our attention.
  • System + surroundings = universe
  • Surroundings - everything else in the universe.
  • Boundary - imaginary line that separates the system from its surroundings.
  • Types of systems:
    A) Open system
    B) Closed system
    C) Isolated system
  • Types of walls:
    A) Diathermal walls
    B) Adiabatic walls
  • To understand thermodynamics, it is necessary to describe the state of a system.
  • Laws of thermodynamics:
    A) Zeroth law
    B) First law
    C) Second law
    D) Third law
  • TRUE or FALSE
    Zeroth Law states that if two bodies are separately in thermal equilibrium with a third body, then they must be in thermal equilibrium with one another.
    TRUE
  • The forgotten law of science
    Zeroth law
  • In zeroth law, two systems are said to be in thermal equilibrium if there is no heat flow between them when they are brought into contact.
  • Temperature - The indicator of thermal equilibrium in the sense that there is no net flow or heat between two systems in thermal contact that have the same temperature.
  • TRUE or FALSE
    Energy can not be created nor destroyed
    TRUE
  • Second law - applies the conservation of energy principle to systems where heat transfer and doing work are the methods of transferring energy into and out of the system.
  • These type of walls permit heat flow.
    Diathermal walls
  • These type of walls do not permit heat flow.
    Adiabatic walls
  • Enumerate what the laws are about.
    A) Thermal equilibrium
    B) Internal energy
    C) State of a system
    D) Heat pumps
    E) Heat engine
  • limitation of "first law" - states that a certain energy flow takes place when a system undergoes a process or change of state is possible or not.
  • Which law gives more information about thermodynamics processes?
    Second law
  • What law is used to determine the theoretical units for the the performance of mostly use of engineering systems like heat engines and heat pump.

    second law
  • In the second law of thermodynamics, heat can flow itself from colder body to hotter body.
  • A device that converts thermal energy into mechanical work.
    Heat engine
  • A device that transfers heat energy from cold body to hot body.
    Heat pump
  • Kelvin plank statement - it is impossible for any device as heat engine that operates on a cycle to receive heat from a single reservoir and produce net amount of work.
  • In kelvin plank's statement, only part of the total heat absorbed by heat engine from a high temperature is converted to work, the remaining heat must be rejected at low temperature.
  • TRUE or FALSE
    No heat engine has a 100% of thermal efficiency
    TRUE
  • Clausius statement - "it is impossible to construct a device as heat pump that operates in a cycle and includes no effect other than the transfer of heat from lower temperature to higher temperature body"
  • Clausius's statement means that heat cannot flow from cold body to hot body without any work input.
  • Perpetual motion machine 2 (PMM 2)
  • PMM 2 - If the engine heat only single thermal reservoir, in which heat is supplied is completely converted into an equivalent amount of work and its efficiency becomes 100%
