Term
heat for phase change
Definition
Q = mcDT
Term
Heat for solid to liquid
Definition
Q = mLf
Term
Heat for liquid to gas
Definition
Q = mLv
Term
Conservation of heat
Definition
Qlost = Qgained
Term
Kinetic Energy
Definition
KE = 1/2mv2
Term
Potential Energy
Definition
PE = mgh
Term
Calorie to Joule conversion
Definition
1 calorie = 4.19 joules
Term
Boyle's Law
Definition
P1V1 = P2V2
Term
Charle's Law
Definition
V1T2 = V2T1
Term
Guy-Lusaac Law
Definition
P1T2 = P2T1
Term
Combined Law
Definition
P1V1T2 = P2V2T1
Term
Ideal Gas Law
Definition
PV = nRT
Term
Average Kinetic Energy
Definition
KEave = 3/2kBT
Term
Velocity Root Mean Square
Definition

Vrms = √3RT/M

or

Vrms = √3kBT/m

Term
Work
Definition

W = PDV

or

W = FDd

Term
First law of thermodynamics (book convention)
Definition

DU = Q - W

 

Q(+) Energy added

Q(-) Energy removed

W(+) Work done by system

W(-) Work done on system

Term
First law of thermodynamics (review convention)
Definition

ΔU = Q + W 

Q(+) Energy added

Q(-) Energy removed

 

Term
First law of thermodynamics
Definition

DU = Q - W

 

T ↑     Q+ Enters system     W+ Done on system

T↓      Q- Leaves system      W- Done by system

Term
Isovolumetric
Definition

no work done

DV = 0 so PDV = 0 so W = 0

DU = Q   Q+ energy added   Q- energy removed

Term
Isothermal
Definition

No temperature change and no internal energy change   DT = 0 so DU = 0    Q = W

DU = Q - W = 0

 

Term
Adiabatic
Definition

No energy transfer by heat

Q = 0 so ΔU = -- W

Work - increases ΔU

Work + decreases Δ

Term
Efficiency of a heat engine
Definition
e = W/Q = 1 - Q2/Q1 = 1 - T2/T1
Term
Entropy
Definition
ΔS = ΔQ/T
Term
Stress
Definition
Force/Area Strain = Δl/l
Term
Hooke's Law
Definition
Y = stress/strain = Fl/ΔlA = Young's Modulus
Term
Thermal expansion of liquids
Definition
Δl = αlΔT
Term
Thermal expansion of solids
Definition
ΔV = βVΔT
Term
