Proving Parallel Isothermal Lines: No Pressure Volume Values Given The two isotherms are not parallel but, as Curious has shown, they do not intersect To show that they are not parallel, draw two arbitrary horizontal lines between them These represent lines where P=constant If they are parallel isotherms, these isobars would be the same length (the length representing change in volume)
Energy flux vector field problem is the isotherms are circles Homework Statement Suppose that the isotherms in a region are all concentric spheres centered at the origin Prove that the energy flux vector field points either toward or away from the origin Homework Equations J = - k (del)T The Attempt at a Solution so I know that -(del)T is
Calculate area of PV diagram. Two isotherms, two isobars - Physics Forums Homework Statement Everything is in attached file Given the PV diagram with P2, P1, V2, V1 Homework Equations PV=nRT W=nRT*ln(Vf Vi) The Attempt at a Solution Attempt in attached file is very organized I showed 2 of my peers and they are getting the same answer as well Anybody have any
Help with isotherms and adiabatic curves - Physics Forums This is to help me understand a problem in the book, I don't want to state the question I'm attempting to solve though I would rather just get a nudge in the right direction conceptually (I am analyzing an isotherm and adiabatic curve at the same point ) My book states that for an ideal gas
Adiabats versus Isotherms - Quick clarification - Physics Forums Homework Statement I'm doing a problem about a cylinder containing a gas A piston attached to the cylinder is 1) pushed in slowly 2) pushed in quickly Before I continue with the problem, I want to make sure that my assumptions are correct I am going to model 1) as an isothermal
Solving 2D Conduction Problem with Matlab - Physics Forums b)Reducing the grid spacing by a factor of 2, determine the midpoint temperature and heat transfer rate Plot the corresponding temperature distribution across the surface exposed to the fluid Also, plot the 200 and 250°C isotherms Hopefully that anyone can give me some tips to do it Thanks
Heat transfer in an Isothermal process? - Physics Forums Homework Statement I have a general concept inquiry I was doing some thermal homework, and calculating values of Q in a given cycle One process was isothermal, however it turned out that Q was not zero, causing me to wonder: How can there be a heat transfer in an isothermal process
