    Exam Thermo
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on preparing for a Thermodynamics exam, specifically using the 7th edition of Moran and Shapiro's textbook, with an emphasis on Chapter 3, which covers properties of ideal gases. Participants are seeking additional practice problems and hints for understanding concepts like pressure, temperature, and specific volume. There is also a query about the appropriate use of compression tables versus steam tables, noting that while both provide similar values, steam tables are considered more accurate. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on when to apply each table effectively. Overall, the thread serves as a resource for exam preparation and clarification of thermodynamic concepts.

Hey, i have a Thermo exam tomorrow, and I've been working through the textbook examples and problems, and i was wondering if anyone here had some helpful problems for me to work out or any general hints or anything.

Our textbook is the 7th edition of moran shaprio thermo and the exam is mainly over chapter 3, which is basically finding all of the properties such as pressure, temp, specific volume, work, and such of ideal gases, like r-22, ammonia and others through the use of steam tables.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Also i apologize if this is in the wrong section, i wasn't sure where to put it.

Also, i guess a question i have is when to use the compression tables vs the steam tables? They both give the same values, but the steam tables are more accurate, and it seems that the steam tables can be used whenever the compression can, so why would i want to use the compression table approach?
 

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
