Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
A process in which a fluid successively changes state for the purpose of producing or transferring energy is known as cycle.
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
A system is said to be in equilibrium if it does not tend to undergo any change of state on its own accord.
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
Process is the change of state undergone by a system from one equilibrium state to another equilibrium state.
Engineering Thermodynamics
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
The succession of states crossed through the control volume during the change of state in the thermodynamic system is called path.
Thermodynamics

State is the condition of the system at any particular moment.
Thermodynamics
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
In most of the thermodynamic analyses, the terms 'Total' and 'Specific' quantities are used which relates only to extensive properties.
Thermodynamics
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
Property is defined as any measurable or observable characteristics of the substance when the system remains in equilibrium state.
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
Temperature is the measure of molecular velocity of fluid particles.
Engineering Thermodynamics
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
A continuous homogenous medium is called continuum. Continuum is based on the macroscopic approach.
Engineering Thermodynamics
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
Control volume is a fixed region in space chosen for the thermodynamic study of mass and energy balances for flowing systems.
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
The thermodynamics systems may be classified into the following three categories:
Subject and UNIT: Engineering Thermodynamics: Unit I: Basics, Zeroth and First Law
A thermodynamic system is defined as a definite space or area on which the study of energy transfer and energy conversions is made.
