Union of sets Let A and B be two sets. The union of A and B is the set of all those elements which belong either to A or to B or to both A and B. We denote A union B by notation “A ∪ B” Thus  A∪B = { x : x ∈…

Ideal gases       The term gas is applied to a particular phase of a pure substance which will fills the system boundary, and no change of phase takes place or is contemplated. They always exist in gaseous form. For this reason, they have been called permanent gases.           Perfect…

Conservation of Energy        In the early part of 19th century the scientist developed the concept of energy and hypothesis that it can be neither created nor destroyed ; this come to be known as the law of the conservation of energy. The first law of thermodynamics is merely one statement of this…

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…

Symmetry difference of sets Let A and B be two sets. The symmetry difference of sets A and B is the set (A-B) ∪ (B-A)  and it is denoted by A ∆ B. Then A∆B=(A-B) ∪ (B-A) = {x : x ∉ A ∩ B}. In Fig 9 shaded region represents A∆B Fig (9) Example…

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…
