Part 1. Thermodynamics- Fundamental
Concepts and Definitions
Applied Thermodynamics - answerThe application of basic thermodynamics for the
solution of engineering problems.
Thermodynamics - answerThe Basic science that deals with the conversion of heat into
mechanical work. Science which deals with the computation of energy, exergy and
entropy.
entropy - answerthe portion of heat energy which is not available for conversion into
work is measured by this thermodynamic property.
Exergy - answerThe part of heat which is available for conversion into maximum work.
Zeroth Law - answerEquality of temperature, helps in measurement of temperature..
First Law - answerLaw of conservation of energy and introduces the concept of internal
energy.
Second Law - answerPuts limit on the amount of conversion of heat into work and
introduces the principle of increase of entropy.
Third law - answerdefines absolute zero of entropy.
Scope of thermodynamics - answermechanical, chemical, metallurgical,automobile,
aerospace, marine, textile, energy technology and environmental engineering.Wherever
there is combustion,heating or cooling, exchange of heat for carrying out chemical
reactions,ect..
System - answera region or quantity of matter is identified as this for the study and
analysis of a problem. Its then isolated from the surrounding through a real or imaginary
boundary.
Continuum - answermakes no hypothesis about the structure of matter of the system. its
refereed to as this; continuous distribution of matter.
macroscopically - answertime averaged measured values of the properties of the
system.
