A3 - 2 Flashcards
refrigeration, heat transfer, renewable, processing
quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by 1K
specific heat
can be thought of as a measure of disorder in a system.
if a gas or vapor is compressed without friction and without adding or removing heat during the process, the entropy of the process remains constant
entropy, S
temp at the critical point beyond of which there are no distinct phases
critical temp
point at which a substance can exist as solid, liquid, and gas in thermodynamic equilibrium
triple point
defined by saturation points where substances exists as saturated liquid, saturated vapor or mixtures of both
saturation line
the sum of all the energies of all molecules in a system
Internal Energy, U
the amount of energy possessed by a thermodynamic system that can be transferred between the system and its environment
Enthalpy, (H = U + PV)
THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
no change in pressure of the fluid
Isobaric
THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
no change in volume of the fluid
Isochoric/ Isometric
THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
no change in temperature of the system
Isothermal
THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
no heat transfer from or to the fluid
Adiabatic
THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
no change of entropy of the fluid
Isentropic
LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS
when two bodies have equality of temperature with a third body, they in turn have equality of temperature with each other.
Zeroth law
THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES
no change of enthalpy
Isenthalpic
a process which there is no change in enthalpy from state one to state two, h1 =h2; no work done, W=0; and the process is adiabatic, Q = 0
Throttling Process
also known as the Conservation of Energy principle, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms
first law of thermodynamics
Work done by system is usually ____ sign
positive sign (+)
Work done on the system is usually ____ sign
negative sign (-)
Law of Thermodynamics states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time. The law also states that the changes in the entropy in the universe can never be negative.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
a reversible cycle (a cycle having a succession of reversible processes such that the system periodically returns to its initial state)
carnot cycle
2 types of carnot cycle
Carnot heat engine
Carnot refrigeration cycle
Receives heat from low temperature to higher temperature via work (of compressor)
refrigeration cycle
a device that transfers heat energy from a source of heat to what is called a “heat sink”. Moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer, by absorbing heat from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer one
heat pump
If the objective of the device is to perform work it is a
heat engine
