Temperature change Definition and 135 Threads

My attempt at deriving the equation: Let a temperature a rod of length L constrained by walls on both ends be changed by ΔT. So the change in lenghth of rod under no constraints = L α ΔT Length of rod after change in temperature without walls =L+L α ΔT= L(1+L α ΔT) However with constraints the...

An insulated container (constant volume, adiabatic) contains an Ideal gas with pressure P1 and temperature T1. We open the container's hatch for a few seconds and let some particles escape from the container, then we close the hatch again. We know container's pressure has reduced by exiting...

Hi everyone, I'm an electrical engineer working on making a linear model for a power take-off system. I've gotten inertial, friction, and hydraulic/electric components done, but what is really confusing me is the gas system; I haven't taken ANY thermodynamics. To simplify it, it is modeled as a...

I tried modeling the problem quite a few ways. one was to say that the difference between the heat emitted by the room and the heat emitted by the bulbs would equal the heat absorbed by the room, and that could allow us to calculate temperature. This did not work. I'd appreciate your help

I am studying the rotary compressor and I have understood that the stagnation pressure and stagnation temperature both increase in the rotor stage (as energy is being added). I also read that in the stator stage the stagnation temperature remains a constant but there is loss of stagnation...

Hi, From the first law of thermodynamics it follows: Cp * (δT/δt) = (δQ/δt) where Cp = specific heat capacity, T = temperature, Q = heat, t = time From this formula, you would derive that temperature keeps on increasing as long as dQ/dt > 0. But if you, for example, look at the idealized...
