Thermodynamics

An isentropic process on a T-s diagram is easily recognized as a

The h-s diagram is also called a

A pure substance at absolute zero temperature is in perfect order, and its entropy is zero. This is best known as

A series of states through which a system passes during a process is called the _______ of the process

Who wrote the first thermodynamic textbook in 1859?

The pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout by the same amount. This is best known as

A device used to measure small and moderate pressure differences is called

A process during which there is no heat transfer is called

The transfer of energy from the more energetic particles of a substance to the adjacent less energetic ones as a result of interaction between particles is called

The transfer of energy between a solid surface and the adjacent fluid that is in motion, and it involves the combined effects of conduction and fluid motion is called

The transfer of energy due to the emission of electromagnetic waves (or photons) is called

The area under the process curve on a P-V diagram represents the boundary

During actual expansion and compression process of gases, pressure and volume are often related by PVn=C where n and C are constants. A process of this kind is called

The idealized surface that emits radiation at a maximum rate is called a

In what form can energy cross the boundaries of a closed system?

A device that increases the velocity of a fluid at the expense of pressure is called

A device that increases the pressure of a fluid by slowing it down is called

What is defined as the direct conversion of a substance from the solid to the vapor state, or vice versa, without passing the liquid state?
