Conservation of Energy
Conservation of Energy
P = Fgz = mgz/k
ΔP = P2 -P1 = (mg/k) (z2 - z1)
ΔP = change in potential energy
Kinetic Energy (K)
The area under the curve of the process on the pV plane represents the
work done during a nonflow reversible process
(1) A closed system is one in which mass does not cross its
boundaries.
(2) An open system is one in which mass crosses its boundaries.
