Answer the following questions:

1. On what plane is the Mollier diagram plotted?

- The Mollier diagram is a plot of relative humidity and enthalpy against

temperature and specific humidity. The diagram's diagonal lines represent

enthalpy, while the curved lines represent relative humidity. A Mollier diagram's

axes are enthalpy and entropy (h-s)

2. What is the expression for heat vaporization?

- The amount of energy required to turn a portion of a liquid substance into a gas

is known as the enthalpy of vaporization, commonly referred to as the heat of

vaporization or heat of evaporation. The pressure at which the transformation

occurs affects the enthalpy of vaporization. The thermal energy needed for

vaporization divided by the mass of the substance that is vaporizing gives us the

heat of vaporization. The equation is Hv = q/m.

3. What is the value of work done for a closed, reversible and isometric system?

- Through the flow of heat and work, a closed system can exchange energy with

its surroundings. In other words, energy can cross the system boundary in the

forms of work and heat. Conventional wisdom states that work performed by a

system is positive and work performed on a system is negative. The work done in

the reversible process is maximized since relatively little heat is wasted to the
 environment. The procedure that is reversible and infinitely slow will generate the

most output. The energy generated by the reversible process will accomplish the

largest amount of work because less energy is lost as heat. The isometric

process, often referred to as isochoric or isovolumetric, results in a volume

change of 0, which, as you may recall, means that no work can be done.

Additionally, the labor for an isometric process was 0.

4. What is the equation work done by a constant temperature system?

- Constant Temperature (Isothermal)

At constant temperature, the pressure of an ideal gas is: P = NkT/V. Important:

The work done during any thermodynamic process is path dependent (see

transparency).

5. What is the polytropic exponent n for a perfect gas undergoing an isobaric

process?

- A thermodynamic process that complies with this relation is called polytropic.

pV^n = C

Where C is a constant, n is the polytropic index, V is volume, and p is pressure.

The polytropic process equation can be used to explain a variety of compression

and expansion processes, including heat transmission. When a process is

isobaric,

(1) p1 = p2.

In the case of a polytropic process between states I and II,

 (2) p1 • V1 = p2 • V2

By comparing equations (1) and (2), it is clear that n must always equal zero.

6. What is the value of change in entropy during an adiabatic, internally

reversible process?

- We can see that for a reversible, adiabatic operation, the change in a system's

entropy is zero. However, entropy can be conveyed via reversible interactions

between various systems and the environment.

7. What is are the four basic processes the ideal reversible Carnot cycle have?

- An ideal closed thermodynamic cycle with reversibility is known as a Carnot

cycle. Isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and

adiabatic compression are the four successive operations.

8. What measures entropy?

- Utilize an energy reading at a given temperature to calculate entropy. To

measure the thermal energy transferred at a certain temperature, a calorimeter is

typically used. Maintain the temperature value mathematically constant by

assuming only extremely slight variations in the process's conditions. Entropy is a

measure of a system's molecular disorder or unpredictability since work is

produced by organized molecular motion. Entropy theory offers profound

understanding of the direction of spontaneous change for many commonplace

events.

9. What is the quantity of U + pV?

 - H = U + pV, where U is the internal energy, p is the pressure, and V is the

volume of the system; pV is sometimes referred to as the pressure energy. The

enthalpy H of a thermodynamic system is defined as the sum of its internal

energy and the product of its pressure and volume.

10. What is the substance that exists, or regarded as existing, as a continuum

characterized by a low resistance to flow and the tendency to assume the shape

of its container?

- Fluid, because in physics, a fluid substance that continually deforms in the

presence of an external force or shear stress. They have zero shear modulus, or more

simply put, they are substances that cannot withstand any shear stress.
