In free expansion, Since vacuum does not offer any resistance, there A is no work transfer involved in free expansion. 100% heat can't be converted to work but 100% work can be converted to heat. It depends on second law of thermodynamics.

- Give definition of unreliability F(t)of a component as function of time.arrow_forwardThe 1st law of thermodynamics is ΔU = Q –W. Use this statement of the 1st law to show (mathematically) its equivalent statement: “Total energy of the universe is constant”. Here, the universe can be defined as: system + surroundings (everything but the system –everything outside the system). (Hint: this can be shown by two ways-you may either treat system and surroundings as two systems next to each other, or you may treat system + surroundings (universe) as one system.)arrow_forwardTHERMODYNAMICS A gas initially at P1 = 0.01 bar and v1 = 15 gal undergoes isothermal process and change state to a point where P2 = 0.06 bar and v2 = 4.5 gal.
