Average kinetic energy of particles
49
What is the definition of heat?
Amount of thermal energy transferred by a given process
50
What is a heat engine?
Machines designed to convert thermal energy into useful mechanical work.
51
What is the conservation of energy law?
Q out + W out
52
What is specific heat capacity?
The energy required to increase the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 kelvin
53
What is the equation for input energy in terms of change in temperature?
Mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
54
What happens to the temperature during a state change?
Stays the same
55
What are the properties of an ideal gas?
- Collisions between particles are elastic - Particles do not attract or repel each other - Particles are negligibly small compared with the volume that the gas is occupying
56
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
The change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat energy input minus the output work done
57
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
The second law identifies that a natural process can never be fully reversed and it is impossible to completely change all heat into work.
58
What is the Zeroth law of thermodynamics?
When two systems are in thermal contact, but there is no net transfer of heat because they are at the same temperature.
59
What is the isothermal process?
heat transfer that takes place at a constant temperature
60
What is the Adiabatic process?
work is done but there is no transfer of heat.
