You Be the Teacher - Thermodynamics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Potential | energy due to relative position |
| kinetic | energy due to relative velocity |
| internal energy | kinetic + potential energy with all the basic building blocks (atoms, molecules, etc.) of a system |
| work | energy changing systems due to pressure change |
| Heat | energy changing systems due to temperature change |
| Closed system | same amount of stuff (mass), but energy can be transferred but cannot go through system boundaries |
| Temperature | a measure of the relative hotness or coldness of a material |
| pressure | the normal (perpendicular) component of force per unit area |
| Volume | the quantity of space possessed by a material |
| Entropy | the quantity of disorder possessed by a material |
| thermodynamic cycle | a process for which the final and initial states are the same |
| heat capacity | the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one unit quantity of material by one degree |
| Enthalpy | internal energy plus the pressure-volume product |
| Closed system | same amount of stuff in it; energy can be transferred but mass cannot (past “system boundaries”) |
| Open system | in a specific place; mass and energy can be transferred (“system boundaries”) |
| Isolated system | energy and mass cannot be transferred (“system boundaries”) |
| Internal energy | 𝚫U = Q - W |
| U | internal energy |
| Q | Heat |
| W | Work |
| (Delta) | Change |
