Yes, neglecting dissipation factors such as air drag.

A quasi-static path is considered to represent a continuous sequence of thermodynamic equilibrium states.

Who says that in thermodynamics, we study gases that are in thermodynamics equilibrium? The states of the gas in irreversible processes...

$$\Delta S=\int dS=\int dQ/T$$ is the definition of change in entropy, where dQ is the infinitesimal heat flow over a reversible path...

Was it also called the Missouri School of Mines, or is that something different?

For large deformations, the definition of the strain tensor is not unique. There are many tensorial forms at large deformation that...

Thermal chemical decomposition of the rubber.

The more general form of the 1st law of thermodynamics is $$\Delta U+\Delta (PE)+\Delta (KE)=Q-W$$where PE is the gravitational...

At any point during the process, the pressure P is related to the mass m by $$PA=mg$$or $$m=\frac{PA}{g}$$Therefore, mass can be used as...

The total work is path independent, but the path for adiabatic reversible is different from the path for isothermal reversible, and the...

Initial pressure = ##P_0A=m_0g##, where ##m_0## is the finite amount of mass that must be added to the piston to hold it in equilibrium...

If your solution satisfies the differential equation, then it must be correct. (assuming y is the only other independent variable...

Here is an example. If you initially have 1 mole of H2 and 1 mole of I2, and you let the reaction to to equilibrium, forming x moles...

Are you saying that there is no effect of the fluid velocities at the two points?

It's sure been a wild ride this year! Between some AI missteps and breaking LaTeX for a good portion of the year (at least we got dark...
