Study Notes
Thermodynamics
- ΔE in the first law of thermodynamics equation represents the change in internal energy of a system.
- In an irreversible expansion process, the work done is less than the maximum possible work, as some energy is lost due to friction and other irreversible processes.
- Entropy is maximum for a system when it is in a state of equilibrium, where all parts of the system have the same temperature.
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time, except in reversible processes.
Carnot Cycle
- The isothermal reversible compression process in the Carnot cycle involves the compression of the gas at a constant temperature.
Geometry
- The equation of the circle S that passes through the point (0, 1) and is orthogonal to the circles $(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 16$ and $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ can be derived using the given conditions.
- The center O of the circle $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$, where $r > \sqrt{5/2}$, is located at the origin (0, 0).
