It is therefore performing thermodynamic operations on a microscopic scale, not just observing ordinary spontaneous or natural macroscopic thermodynamic processes.
12.
If the process is not quasi-static, the work can perhaps be done in a volume constant thermodynamic process.
13.
Nevertheless, for both closed and isolated systems, and indeed, also in open systems, irreversible thermodynamics processes may occur.
14.
Often, when analysing a thermodynamic process, it can be assumed that each intermediate state in the process is at equilibrium.
15.
Compressed-air vehicles operate according to a thermodynamic process because air cools down when expanding and heats up when being compressed.
16.
Systems are studied in terms of change from one equilibrium state to another; such a change is called a thermodynamic process.
17.
A thermodynamic process will consist of a curve connecting an initial state ( A ) and a final state ( B ).
18.
As we all know, no thermodynamic process is perfect . talk ) 01 : 43, 10 October 2011 ( UTC)
19.
Thermodynamic processes which develop so slowly as to allow each intermediate step to be an equilibrium state are said to be reversible processes.
20.
A thermodynamic process may be defined as the energetic evolution of a thermodynamic system proceeding from an initial state to a final state.
