Thermodynamics
Table of Contents
When ever one or more of the properties of
a system change, a change in the state of the system
occurs. The path of the succession of states through
which the system passes is called thethermodynamic
process. One
example of a thermodynamic process is increasing the
temperatureof a fluid
while maintaining a constant pressure. Another example is
increasing the pressure ofa
confined gas while maintaining a constant temperature.
