Laws of thermodynamics

Weeks 7 to 9 Assignment Question 1- The difference between heat and temperature is that heat is measured by temperature. Heat travels from areas of higher temperatures to areas of lower temperatures. Temperature indicates level of heat present. (Hammer & Price, 2001, p. 292). Question 2- The principal means by which heat can be transferred are radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation is the only way the sun's heat reaches earth. Body with temperature above absolute zero will emit…

Fick’s first law of diffusion is applicable only under steady state conditions, that when the concentration is not changing with time (Mangaraj et al., 2009). The transfer of gases and vapors in polymers is realized by mechanisms of diffusion. Diffusion is defined as…

1.0) The Ellingham Diagram 1.1) Introduction The Gibbs free energy (∆G) of a reaction is defined as the measure of the thermodynamic force that drives a reaction to occur. When ∆G is positive, it indicates that a reaction will not occur spontaneously while when ∆G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous. The Gibbs free energy equation is given by : ∆G = ∆H –T∆S ∆H refers to the enthalpy and is a measure of the actual energy that is released when the reaction occurs. A negative…

In this study, the changes in the rheological curves of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastisols with increasing storage time and the factors affecting the changes were studied,. The results show that with increasing storage time, all the "viscosity–temperature" and "viscosity–time" rheological curves of PVC plastisols exhibit non-normal distribution change trends, i.e., the viscosity first decreases, and then changes from slow increasing to rapid increasing, forming a shoulder peak, reaches to the…

4.2 Glass Blowing Glass blowing is a glass-forming process that encompasses inflating molten glass into a bubble, with the help of a blowpipe. A person who blows glass is called a glassblower or gaffer. A person who manipulates the glass with a torch or other tools is known as a lampworker. 4.2.1 Principle of Glass blowing Glassblowing utilizes a working property of glass known as inflation. This refers to the expansion of glass by passing a small amount of air into it. The property exists…

In order to complete this lab in a proper manner, the concept of the beer-lambert law must be understood to ensure success in the experiment. the Beer Lambert Law compares the property of light with material through which the light is travelling.4 So, if all the light passes through a solution without any absorption, then absorbance is zero, and the percent transmitted is 100%. If all the light is absorbed, then percent transmittance is zero, and absorption is infinite.3-4 There are many forms…

The Mpemba Effect The Mpemba effect is a rather unusual physical phenomenon where hot water freezes faster than cold water, under certain conditions. Intuitively, this doesn’t make any sense. How could water of higher temperature reach freezing temperature quicker than water of colder temperature? Water freezes when it’s molecules lose energy and slow down enough to stick together, forming ice. The molecules of water of high temperature have more energy the molecules in the colder water. So,…

Abstract Thermo-mechanic treatment consists in utilization of two classic technological proceedings. This type of treatment was applied to the studied high-speed steel (HS2-9-1-8). The made tests wanted to establish the influence on the hardness and wear of the high-temperature thermo-mechanical treatment (HTTMT) applied to studied steel. The application of an additional plastic deformation (the deformation degree between 45 – 75%) influences positive the hardness and wear value. Being a HTTMT,…

3A.2.10 Robustness A method is robust if it is unaffected by small changes in operating conditions. To evaluate the robustness of developed analytical method few parameters were deliberately changed. The parameters included analysis at different temperatures viz. 250C and 300C, at 0.8 and 1.0 mL/min flow rate, using C18 columns from different manufacturers one from Qualisil BDS, USA (4.6 x 250 mm x5µ) and the other from LC-GC, India (4.6 x 250mm x5µ). Each of the three selected factors were…
