Gas ProcessesII. Adiabatic ProcessesIII. The Three Types of Heat TransferCurrent LectureGas Processes- If you have two systems, both with all the same initial conditions and one goes through an isobaric process and one goes through an isochoric process, the isochoric system would have a higher final temperature.- A gas's Cp and Cv just depend on whether it is diatomic or monatomic.- Cp=Cv+R for all gases- Since the change in thermal energy is the same for all processes that have the same change in temperature, we can write that ΔEth=nCvΔT. Note that this equation can be used for all ideal-gas processes, not just isochoric processes.Adiabatic Processes- In an adiabatic process, no heat is transferred to or from the system (Q=0).- An adiabatic process occurs when either the system is thermally isolated or the process is performed very quickly.- For an adiabatic process, ΔEth is equal to the work so W=nCvΔT- Specific heat ratio is the isobaric specific heat of a gas divided by the isochoric specific heat. This value is 1.67 for monatomic gases and 1.40 for diatomic gases.- When analyzing engines, it is important to know its compression ratio, the ratio of the highest volume in the cylinder to the lowest volume in the cylinder.These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.The Three Types of Heat Transfer- Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.- Conduction is defined as heat transfer that happens when two objects are directly touching- To calculate the rate of heat transfer, one of the variables you must know is the thermal conductivity of the object. Thermal conductivity is a quality that defines how well heat flows through an object.- The second type of heat transfer is convection. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity that leads to the transfer ofheat.- Convection occurs in all fluids but it does not occur in solids.- Radiation, the third type of heat transfer, is a type of energy that all objects are emitting at all times.- The amount of radiation emitted by an object depends very strongly on the object's temperature.- A blackbody is an object with a emissivity of 1, which means that it is a perfect emitter of
