(Celsius* 9/5)+32 = Fahrenheit

Term
Zeroeth Law of Thermodynamics:
Definition

ZERO:Two systems each in thermal equilibrium with a
third system are in thermal equilibrium to each other.

Term
First Law of Thermodynamics:
Definition

First Law of Thermodynamics: Conservation of Energy

Q = ΔU + W

 

The change in energy of a system is the amt of energy added minus the energy spent doing work.

Q = heat

W = work

ΔU = change in internal energy

 

 

Term
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Definition

Second Law of Thermodynamics:

ΔStotal = ΔSsystem+ΔSsurroundings > zero

 

The entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process.

Term
Third Law of Thermodynamics
Definition

Third Law of Thermodynamics

 

 

It is impossible to reduce any system to absolute
zero in a finite series of operations. This means that a perfectly efficient heat engine
cannot be created.

Term
Seebeck Effect
Definition

Seebeck Effect:

conversion of temperature differences directly into electricity.
[image] Thermocouples measure Tdifference between probe and voltmeter

Term
Peltier Effect
Definition

Peltier Effect

calorific effect of an electrical current at the junction of two different metals.

 

heat is evolved at the upper junction (at T2), and absorbed at the lower junction

Term
Joule-Thomson Effect
Definition

Joule-Thomson Effect:

gas allowed to expand = increased PE implies Decreased KE & Temp

[image]Describes Temp Change of a gas or Liquid forced thru a valve and then allowed to expand.

Term

Joule-Thomson Effect:

@ room Temp, Temp of gases does what upon expansion?

 

Definition

Joule-Thomson Effect:

@ room Temp, Temp of gases decreases upon expansion.

 

(except hydrogen, helium, and neon)

Term
Calorie:
Definition

Calorie: unit of heat energy

  • Calorie- amt of heat required to raise T of one gram of water from 14.5-15.5 Celsius
Term
Specific Heat:
Definition

Specific Heat:

# of calories to raise T of 1g of substance by 1 Celsius
