    changes to the internal energy of gas and factors affecting the internal energy. Thermodynamic also involves work done and heat supplied or lost by a gas. THERMODYNAMICS The study of temperature‚ heat‚ and related macroscopic properties comprises the branch of physics. Thermodynamics deals with processes which cause energy changes (internal energy) as a result of heat flow to or from a system and/or of work done on or by a system. Internal energy‚ U is the sum of the kinetic energy and potential

    produced by a heat engine‚ which transforms thermal energy‚ often from combustion of a fuel‚ into rotational energy. Most thermal power plants produce steam‚ and these are sometimes called steam power plants. Not all thermal energy can be transformed to mechanical power‚ according to the second law of thermodynamics. Therefore‚ thermal power plants also produce low-temperature heat. If no use is found for the heat‚ it is lost to the environment. If reject heat is employed as useful heat‚ for industrial

    or not. It is the second law of thermodynamics which provides the criterion as to the probability of various processes through the statements of Clausius that ‘’Heat does not pass from a body at low temperature to one at high temperature without an accompanying change elsewhere’’ and Kelvin that ‘’No cyclic process is possible in which heat is taken from a hot source and converted completely into work’’. The aim of this essay is to prove if there equivalence between these two statements and it will

The patented Heat Indicator labels will clearly indicate when the correct drinking temperature has been reached‚ by changing from black colour to GREEN colour in about 3 minutes. Should the beverage become hotter than the optimum drinking temperature‚ the heat indicator label will change from black to RED

    • 4 Pages

    Thermodynamics is the branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its conversion to any form of energy. In thermodynamics‚ both the thermodynamic system and its environment are considered. A thermodynamic system‚ in general‚ is defined by its volume‚ pressure‚ temperature‚ and chemical make-up. In general‚ the environment will contain heat sources with unlimited heat capacity allowing it to give and receive heat without changing its temperature. Whenever the conditions change‚ the thermodynamic

    3.1 Metabolic Load:  The metabolic activities inside human body constantly create heat and humidity (i.e. perspiration). This heat passes through the body tissues and is finally released to the cabin air. This amount is considered as a heat gain by the cabin air and is called the metabolic load. The metabolic load can be calculated by Qmet = Σ MADU Passengers Where M is the passenger’s metabolic heat production rate. (It is assumed from ISO 8996 based on various criteria for driver: M = 85 W/m2

    thermodynamics which stated that for any process occurring in a closed system‚ the entropy increases for an irreversible system and remains constant for a reversible system‚ but never decreases. An air-conditioner functioned by using a working fluid to transfer heat from the colder indoor air to the hotter outside air. So the indoor air will be cooled down to a favorable temperature for indoor activities. Second law of thermodynamics defines as the entropy of an isolated system never decreases due to isolated
