Reversible and Irreversible Processes

Reversible and Irreversible Processes Define Reversible and Irreversible Process and give example. There are two main types of thermodynamic processes: reversible process and the irreversible process. Irreversible Process: The process is said to be an irreversible...

Entropy Changes in an Ideal Gas

Entropy Changes in an Ideal Gas Many aerospace applications involve flow of gases (e.g., air) and we thus examine the entropy relations for ideal gas behavior. The starting point is form (a) of the combined first and second law, For an ideal gas, . Thus Using the...

Entropy

Entropy in Chemistry In thermodynamics, entropy (usual symbol S) is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a thermodynamic system may be arranged, commonly understood as a measure of disorder. According to the second law of thermodynamics the entropy of an...

Second Law of Thermodynamics

Second Law of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of a system. Thermodynamics deals only with the large scale response of a system which we can observe and measure in experiments. In aerodynamics, the...

Terminology of Thermodynamics

Terminology of Thermodynamics The important parts of the study of thermodynamics are a few terms and definitions, which must be understood clearly, and these are as follows: 1. System, boundary and surroundings: A thermodynamic system may be defined as any specified...

Techniques of polymerization

Techniques of polymerization Bulk polymerization Bulk polymerization or mass polymerization is carried out by adding a soluble initiator to a pure monomer in liquid state. The initiator should dissolve in the monomer. The reaction is initiated by heating or exposure...
