... where ΔU is the change in internal energy, ΔQ is the change in heat energy, and ΔW is the positive work done by the system. Let us look at this equation carefully. The internal energy of a system depends only on the state of the system. For this reason it is called a state function. A state function ...

Removing the Mystery of Entropy and Thermodynamics – Part III
... what can we say about its entropy? In thermodynamics, we commonly treat a system’s surroundings as a constanttemperature reservoir. It is assumed that finite energy exchanges do not alter its temperature. In addition, we assume that the reservoir responds infinitely quickly (zero relaxation time) to ...

... Plotted are the cases that p is 1 m, 1 mm, and 1 m respectively. Fig.8 shows e.g. that at about 140 mK the average particle distance in the gas above the liquid 3 He is 1 m. At 65 mK it is 1 mm, and at 43 mK the particle distance is as large as 1 m! In the interstellar space the average particle dis ...

... •� Work and heat are not state functions; they are path dependent- what does this mean? In most physical situations, we are concerned with a quantity of heat or work transferred into or out of a material, which causes a change from one state of the material to another. Path dependence implies that t ...
