Venn diagrams The diagram drawn to represent sets are called Venn-diagram. In Venn-diagram the universal set U is represented by points within the rectangle and its subsets are represented points in closed curves (usually circles) within the rectangle. If a set A is a subset of a set B, then the circles representing A is…
State, path and process State A state is condition of system and is specified by its properties. At a given state all the properties of a system have definite values Path Change of state of a system is the consequence of any operation in which properties will change. The series of states through which system…
Energy in a state Stored energy is the energy possessed by a system. Stored energy in the system is called energy in a state. It is associated with a state. It change depends only on the end states of the process and not on the path of…
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…
Quasi-static process A process during which the system remains nearly close to an equilibrium state is called Quasistatic process. In other words departure of the state of a system from Thermodynamic Equilibrium state will be Infinitesimally small. Quasi-static process Consider a system as shown in figure the system initially is in equilibrium state as weights…
Theorem 3 The total number of subsets of a finite set containing n elements is 2ⁿ. Proof Let A be a finite set containing n elements.Let 0 ≤ r ≤ n. Consider those subset,of A that have r elements each.We know that the number of ways in which r elements can be chosen…
