About Quasi-static process

Open interval  If a and b are two real numbers such that a < b, then the set of all real numbers x satisfying a  x  b is called an open interval  and is  denoted by (a, b) or ]a, b[ .   Thus,  (a,b) = (x: x ∈ R, a < x < b).

Intersection of sets Let A and B be two sets. The intersection of A and B is the set of all those elements that belongs to both A and B. See in Fig(v) shaded region show A∩B We denote A intersection B by notation “A ∩ B” Thus  A∩B = { x : x ∈…

Introduction about thermodynamics Energy is the capacity to do work energy cannot be created or destroyed but only can be changed into other forms (principle of conservation of energy). Thermodynamics mainly deals with interaction between heat and work (mechanical energy) and change in the property is associated with these interactions. The interaction between heat and…

Thermodynamic system Thermodynamic system is defined as quantity of matter or a region in a space chosen for study. Everything external to the system is called surroundings. The system is separated from the surroundings by the boundary that may be real or imaginary        The boundary does not intervene between the system and surroundings. It only…

First Law for a Closed System Undergoing a Quasi-static process In many occasions it is necessary to consider a system undergoing a process rather than a cycle. The equation, ∮ dQ − ∮ dW = 0 is applicable during the system undergoing a cycle, and algebraic sum of all energies transfer across the system boundary…

Thermodynamic equilibrium Thermodynamic state is a condition of a system and is specified by its thermodynamic properties. Thermodynamic Equilibrium of a system is a state such that if the system is isolated from its surroundings no change in thermodynamic properties would occur. A system will be in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium if the conditions…
