... A macroscopic system undergoes a series of transformations which eventually returns it to its initial state. During these transformations, the system absorbs a net quantity Q of heat, and releases a net amount W of energy which can be used for useful work. What is the efficiency of the transformatio ...

The Second Law of Thermodynamics
... after every bounce, the ball does not rise quite as high as before. The reason is that the collision between the ball and the floor is inelastic, so that upon each impact some of the ball’s kinetic energy is dissipated among the molecules in the floor. After each bounce, the floor becomes a little bit ...

... available from the Sun and oxidation of organic compounds is used to perform work as some is lost as heat. The dissipation of energy as heat is advantageous because it can be used to control the organism’s temperature. However, energy is eventually transferred as heat to the surroundings. In Chapter ...

Chapter One :- Concepts and Definitions
... Consider as a system 1 kg of water contained in the piston/cylinder arrangement shown in Fig. 1a. Suppose that the piston and weight maintain a pressure of 0.1 MPa in the cylinder and that the initial temperature is 20◦C. As heat is transferred to the water, the temperature increases appreciably, th ...
