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…
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…
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…
Function as a correspondence Let A and B be two non-empty sets. Then a function ‘f ‘ from set A to set B is a rule or method or correspondence which associates elements of set A to elements of set B such that: Fig. 2(a) (i) all elements of set A are associated to…
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…
Reversible and Irreversible processes A process which can be reversible i.e., operated in opposite direction from any state during the process such that the system returns to its initial state and their may be no effect on the surroundings. Thus at the end of the process both the system and…
