i want to study astronomy but i dont know almost anything about it where should i start with?

Manidipa Kundu Student Expert 28th Feb, 2020

HI,

see when we start a bachelor course after 10+2 we just start from the initial step, it is not only you who do not have the depth knowledge, no one knows in depth about any career line, when starts a new journey of education. see astronomy is related with physics and mathematics, it involves the studies of space, gravitational energy, phenomena occurs in the atmosphere etc. so if you are really interested in this things than you should go for it.

What is 1st law of thermodynamics??

Siddhi Shenoy 15th Jan, 2020

Hello Buddhu,

There are total three laws of thermodynamics: zeroth law, first law and second law.

The first law of thermodynamics statement is same as the statement for conservation of energy which says that energy can neither be created not destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to the other. Heat engine is an example for the first law of Thermodynamics.

what books should i follow for semester preparation as well as for gate and other exams for thermodynamics strength of materials fluid mechanics? I am presently pursuing mechanical engineering

Manidipa Kundu Student Expert 13th Feb, 2020

hi,

for semester preparation you should follow the books suggested by you to your college faculty. see gate and semester exam is totally two different type exam, for understanding for basic conceptual part any good text book will be good. gate is numerical question type exam. you need to solve as many of questions for gate. follow the previous years paper, you will get an idea. schaums series books are best for numerical practice.

this was a honable request why would automobiles are not eligible for SSC Je exams I observe the syllabus of mechanicals in SSC Je exams that topics are also related to automobiles like ic engine/ lubrication and thermodynamics properties etc.. a sincere request for give answer for this.. Thank you.

hi,

see ssc junior engineer has vacancy for diploma in mechanical, civil or electrical branch. you may find similarity and knowledge of mechanical syllabus, but you are not eligible to apply if you dont belongs to any of the similar branch or any combinational branch like, electrical and electronics engineer can apply for electrical branch. hope you may understand.

Is third law of thermodynamics is syllabus of jee mains ?or advance?

Khushi 25th Dec, 2019

Hello!!

No,it is not in the syllabus of jee ,we have very little time in hand and it is not okay if you get confused with the syllabus at this phase check out our page and get every syllabus related solution -

Is it necessary to do Thermodynamics for jee mains?

sumit ranjan 21st Dec, 2019
Hi there hope you are doing really well. Thermodynamics is very important chapter both for JEE mains and JEE advanced but not compulsory for JEE mains as it will only give you two questions at Max and it is a very big chapter. So investing so much of time for a tough chapter is your choice so if you can do it then you must do if you are not prepared in now so don't even try to touch it. Hope this will help you thank you.

what is mean by thermodynamics

Prashant Singh 10th Dec, 2019

We can define thermodynamics, as t he branch of Physics that deals with heat and temperature, and their relation to energy, work, radiation, and properties of matter.

To be specific, it explains how thermal energy is converted to or from other forms of energy and how matter is affected by this process. Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. This heat is generated by the movement of tiny particles within an object. The faster these particles move, the more heat is generated.

There are four laws of thermodynamics and are given below:

  • Zeroth law of thermodynamics
  • First law of thermodynamics
  • Second law of thermodynamics
  • Third law of thermodynamics

thermodynamics mainly deals with

Apoorva Student Expert 9th Dec, 2019

Hello dear student,

Thermodynamics basically deals with the energy. the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy. . It also says that energy of a system is always conserved.  I hope this helps

Thank you

Can pls anyone explain why in isothermal process dt is not 0?

Upendra Gupta 2nd Nov, 2019

Suppose we consider an Ideal gas. (Ah, one more definition, Ideal gas is a gas in which we neglect attraction between particles, therefore, no potential energy, thus here internal energy just refers to total kinetic energy) and make it undergo Isothermal process, then BY DEFINITION, temperature or Average kinetic energy of the molecules remains a constant. If Average kinetic energy is a constant, then the total kinetic energy must also remain a constant. So look at the internal energy of this gas. Since internal energy for an ideal gas is just it’s total kinetic energy, by definition, the internal energy must be a constant. Does that make sense now?


However, if we break that assumption, that particles are not attracted to each other, then potential energy comes into the picture. Now, in an isothermal process, even though temperature (average kinetic energy) is a constant, it’s potential energy can definitely change, thus now it’s internal energy can definitely change.


A practical example would be during phase change. Suppose you consider water boiling. Since water is a liquid, you can definitely NOT neglect the attraction between particles and hence potential energy cannot be neglected at all. Hence during boiling, all the heat energy supplied (or taken up by the liquid) increases the potential energy of the system (makes particles farther and farther away), but keeps the total kinetic energy a constant.

So the temperature definitely remains a constant, thus by definition this is an isothermal process, but since potential energy is increasing (like crazy) the internal energy of the system is definitely increasing.

the formula of workdonein adiabatic process

Upendra Gupta 2nd Nov, 2019

Remember that the first law of thermodynamics states (Q+W+u^1)=(u^2)(Q+W+u^1)=(u^2)


Where u^u^ is internal energy.


By definition of an adiabatic process, the only way that internal energy can change is via work, which is defined as the integral of P dV


Before we can solve this integral, we need to formulate a relationship between pressure and volume under the condition of an adiabatic process. Consider then, the differential form of the first law of thermodynamics (done by considering the limit as the increment of heat and work added to the gas goes to zero, and allowable under the assumption of reversibility), namely


dQ=dW+dU=0=PdV+dUdQ=dW+dU=0=PdV+dU


For an ideal gas, another equation of note is


dU=nCvdTdU=nCvdT


from the definition of Cv=dUdTCv=dUdT


Utilizing the ideal gas equation, we see that


nCvdT=nCvnR(PdV+VdP)nCvdT=nCvnR(PdV+VdP)


Once again substituting into the differential form, we see that


Cv+RRPdV+CvRVdP=0Cv+RRPdV+CvRVdP=0


Which, upon relatively simple integration, results in the equation


PVγ=P0Vγ0PVγ=P0V0γ


and allows integration to find that


P0Vγ0γ−1(V1−γ0−V1−γ1)P0V0γγ−1(V01−γ−V11−γ)
