Flashcard: Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Systems — 10 carte

Systems — types?

Open, closed, and isolated.

System types — examples?

Closed, open, isolated.

Equilibrium — conditions?

Uniform pressure and temperature.

Equilibrium — requirement?

No macroscopic change; uniform pressure, temperature.

Variables — types?

Extensive: U, V; Intensive: p, T.

Equation of State — ideal gas?

pV = nRT.

Cycle — definition?

Initial and final states identical.

Maximum efficiency — cycle?

Carnot cycle: η = 1 - Tf/Tc.

Latent heat — during phase change?

Energy absorbed or released.

Adiabatic process — heat transfer?

No heat transfer (Q=0).
