Enthalpy of Ideal Gas
Enthalpy of Ideal Gas
The enthalpy of an ideal gas is solely determined by its temperature. It's independent of pressure, entropy, or internal energy.
Most Efficient Thermodynamic Cycle
Most Efficient Thermodynamic Cycle
The Carnot cycle is the theoretical most efficient thermodynamic cycle, achieving maximum efficiency while transferring heat between two reservoirs at different temperatures.
First Law of Thermodynamics
First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
