  • ability of a substance or medium to release power when its stored energy is used up
    energy
  • measure of molecular disorder or randomness of a system
    entropy S
  • actual pressure at a given position
    absolute pressure
  • transfer of energy from the energetic particles to the adjacent less energetic
    conduction
  • separates the system and the surrounding
    boundary
  • pressures below atmospheric pressure
    vacuum pressure
  • one of the most fundamental principles in nature
    conservation of mass principle
  • sum of all microscopic forms of energy
    internal energy (U)
  • amount of volume of a fluid flowing through a cross section per unit time
    volume flow rate
  • transfer of energy between a solid surface and the adjacent fluid that is in moiton
    convection
  • states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
    first law of thermodynamics / conservation of energy principle
  • heat corresponds to the heat added or rejected to on object
    latent heat
  • think of density as the bulk average density over the cross section (gas)
    compressible flow
  • exchange of energy between a control volume and its surroundings is achieved by
    heat transfer, work, mass transfer
  • neither mass and energy within the control volume change with respect to time
    steady flow
  • work due t the movement of volume
    flow work Wf
  • usually case for liquids, canceling density from both sides, it is constant during the flow
    incompressible flow

    mass flow rate
  • thermodynamics properties are of interest, embedded in its surrounding
    thermodynamic system
  • no heat transfer
    adiabatic process
  • energy that a system possesses as a result of its motion
    Kinetic Energy KE
  • used to measure pressure in a tank
    manometer
  • force per unit square
    pascal (Pa)
  • system possesses with respect to some outside reference frame, such as kinetic and potential energies
    macroscopic forms of energy
  • sum of all microscopic forms of energy of a system
    Internal energy U
  • form of energy that is transferred between two systems

  • increase in potential of an elastic body
    Potential energy of spring or elastic spring PEs
  • measure of total amount of heat present in the thermodynamic system where the pressure is constant
    enthalpy H
  • heat that can cause an object to change its temperature
    sensible heat
