Start reading chapter 1
Sec 1.2: Basic Definitions
- - Systems and Surroundings
- DEMO: box of system types
- open/closed...exchange of matter or not
- adiabatic/diathermal...heat loss or not
- walls...rigid or moveable/permeable/impermeable
- system variables...for a gas, pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V), amount (n)
- equation of state...for a gas, ideal gas law
We mainly study gases while developing the basic aspects of thermodynamics
