Well, thank you all so much for replying!
Last question:
Have you got any internet sites to recommend to me so that I can read more about thermodynamics?
Thanks!
Well, first of all thanks for replying.
I get it a little better now, but still not good:
1) "A reversible process is one that can be reversed with an infinitessimal change in conditions. It is an ideal that can be approximated but never achieved."
-This is also the definition in my...
Hi all,
I m having some difficulties understanding some basic concepts of thermodynamics:
-What is reversibility?
Ok, i understand that if after the "go" and "return" processes, the system as well as the surroundings are back to their initial state, then we can say that the overral...
All of your replies were so helpful !
Thank you! I understand better now.
(could you please get all together and write a book!
Seriously, i got more out of your 4 posts than i did reading my whole thermodynamics chapter...)
indeed..! now i understand better.
one more question however:
What should i learn:
-work=force*distance (my last year book) or
-work=distance*force resisting to the movement (this years book..)
...or is it quantitatively (EXACTLY (?)) the same since if there is little resistance...
Hi all,
I m having a little problem with the definition of work:
-Mechanical work is a force applied through a distance, defined mathematically as the line integral of a scalar product of force and displacement vectors. Work is a scalar quantity which can be positive or negative.
-In...
