AI Thread Summary
To calculate the amount of heat transferred in thermodynamics, the equation h_2 - h_1 = (u_2 + P_2v_2) - (u_1 + P_1v_1) is used, focusing on changes in enthalpy. The discussion highlights the importance of referencing saturated liquid tables to find enthalpy values when pressure is not available. It is noted that if there is no change in enthalpy between constant temperatures, the overall enthalpy change may be zero. The user expresses confusion about the terms ΔU and VΔP in the context of the equation ΔH = ΔU + VΔP. Seeking clarification on these terms indicates a need for further understanding of the thermodynamic principles involved.

The Attempt at a Solution



I thought I had to look at the charts in the book for saturated liquid, then notice that the temperature is much higher at the given pressure than what was given in the problem. That would tell me for both situations I have a compressed liquid. But the thing is when our pressure isn't listed in the compressed liquid tables, we are supposed to look at the saturated liquid tables under the given temperature to determine an equivalent amount for what we are trying to solve. In this case it would be enthalpy. And this is true for both cases, which would make the enthalpy zero overall as there is no change in enthalpy between constant temperatures. So I must be approaching this wrong. What is another method to solve this problem?

ΔH = ΔU + Δ(PV) = ΔU + VΔP + PΔV

Since ΔV = 0 (it is negligible) this is simply: ΔH = ΔU + VΔP

What is ΔU here? What is VΔP?

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
