Recent questions

  • What are state functions in thermodynamics?

    State functions like pressure and volume define a system's state, independent of the process taken to reach that state. They focus solely on the current state, crucial for understanding thermodynamics.

  • How does internal energy affect a system?

    Internal energy, representing a system's self-power, is influenced by external factors like temperature. Changes in internal energy occur through mechanical work or heat transfer, with values dependent on temperature changes.
