i don't really understand which quantities are thermodinamic coordinates and which are not. and what makes work and heat are not thermodinamic coordinates but temperature, volume, etc are thermodinamic coordinates?
Thermodynamics coordinate refers to a set of parameters that describe the state of a thermodynamic system. These parameters can include temperature, pressure, volume, and composition.
Thermodynamics coordinates are used to calculate the properties and behavior of a thermodynamic system. By manipulating these parameters, scientists can determine the changes in energy, entropy, and other properties of the system.
Thermodynamics coordinates play a crucial role in phase transitions, as they determine the conditions under which a substance changes from one phase to another. For example, the temperature and pressure coordinates dictate whether a substance will exist as a solid, liquid, or gas.
The laws of thermodynamics are based on the concept of thermodynamic coordinates. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed, which is reflected in the use of energy coordinates. The second law states that entropy always increases in a closed system, which is measured using entropy coordinates.
Yes, thermodynamics coordinates can be used to predict the behavior of a system, as long as the system is in a state of equilibrium. By manipulating the coordinates, scientists can determine the direction and magnitude of changes in the system, allowing for predictions about its behavior.
