Adiabatic Compression of Carnot Cycle
Adiabatic Compression of Carnot Cycle The cylinder is now placed on the insulating stand and the piston is further moved down in such a way…
Isothermal Compression of Carnot Cycle
Isothermal compression of Carnot Cycle The cylinder is placed on the sink at a temperature T2. The piston is moved slowly downward to compress the gas…
Adiabatic Expansion of Carnot Cycle
Adiabatic expansion of Carnot Cycle If the cylinder is taken from the source and is placed on the insulting stand and the piston is moved…
Isothermal Expansion of Carnot Cycle
Isothermal Expansion of Carnot Cycle: Let consider one mole of an ideal gas enclosed in the cylinder. Let V1, P1 be the initial volume and…
Describe on Carnot Engine
Heat engine is a device which converts heat energy into mechanical energy. In the year 1824, Carrot devised an ideal cycle of operation for a…
Explain Second Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics is a general statement of equivalence between work and heat. The second law of thermodynamics enables us to know whether…
What is Irreversible Process?
An irreversible process is one which cannot be reversed back. Examples: diffusion of gases and liquids, passage of electric current through a wire, and heat…
Define Reversible Process with Examples
A thermodynamic process is said to be reversible process when (i) the various stages of an operation to which it is subjected can be reversed…
Explain on Adiabatic Process
In Greek, adiabatic means “nothing passes through”. The process in which pressure, volume and temperature of a system change in such a manner that during…
