Basic thermodynamics. Determine the values fo a-e. thank you
1 ohmic resistor can convert all of the 50 W of electricity into heat. Can the same amount of heat be converted into electricity by this resistor and why?
a)None of the above
b)No, Second law of thermodynamics dictates the directionality of the processes and prevents it to happen in the opposite direction
c)No, from the caloric theory standpoint, it is not possible.
d)Yes, First law of thermodynamics dictates that heat and work are the same and they can give the same change in the state of a system.
e)Yes, Second law of thermodynamics recognizes that both processes are possible and therefore, no problem.
In this discussion, you will briefly explain each of the four gas laws and apply an example as it happens in a refrigeration system. (Boyle’s, Charles’, Dalton’s, and the general law of perfect gases). In your contribution, also address the following:
What makes matter change to different states?
What type of energy do you think is the most important for the HVAC-R industry?
