How to Calculate Heat Transfer During Isothermic and Isobaric Processes?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate heat transfer during isothermic and isobaric processes, one must understand the relevant equations. For isochoric processes, heat transfer (Q) can be calculated using Q = McΔT, where M is mass and c is specific heat capacity. In isothermic processes, the temperature remains constant, and the heat transfer can be determined by the work done on or by the gas. For isobaric processes, the heat transfer can be calculated using Q = ΔH, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy. Understanding these relationships is crucial for solving problems involving heat transfer in thermodynamic processes.

Homework Statement



There is a process that has three phases: isochoric, isobaric and isothermic.

How to calculate the transfer of energy as heat(Q) during the isotherm and isobaric process?
The temperature and the mass of the gas is known.



Homework Equations



In isochoric process you can calculate Q using the fact that Q =McΔT.

The formula that relates energy, heat, and work would be useful here. Also, the formula that relates energy and temperature of a gas.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
