Thermodynamic principle

Thermodynamics is a discipline of physics concerned with the concepts of heat and temperature and the conversion of heat to various kinds of energy. Thermodynamics is a science that is studied at a microscopic level. It is concerned with the bulk system and does not address the molecular structure of matter; in fact, its notions […]

Thermal Energy

By virtue of its temperature, thermal energy is the internal energy existing in a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. Thermal energy is more difficult to convert to productive work than energy from systems that are not in thermodynamic equilibrium. Thermal energy is associated with the movement of particles within an object, which can result in the

The second law of thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics asserts that the universe’s energy stays constant; energy is transferred among systems but not produced or destroyed. The first law of thermodynamics offers information about the amount of energy transmitted, but this does not provide information about the direction of the transfer of energy. The first law seems unable to

Reactions

In chemistry, chemical reactions are those reactions in which the different aspects of the chemicals involved in the reaction undergo significant changes. In chemical reactions, reactants are the species that change to form a new species in their orientation, bonding and composition under various conditions like temperature, pressure, catalysts, atmosphere and many other circumstances. Types

Physics Exclusive – OR gate (XOR Gate)

Exclusive OR gate depends on the binary system. The binary system consists of input gates 0, 1. This binary system consists of logic gates which are used as a basic building block of a circuit to make a large number of electronic circuits. In an exclusive OR gate, the only time the output is positive

Perpetual Motion Machine of First Kind

Perpetual motion is the movement of bodies that never ends and continues forever in an undisturbed system. A perpetual motion machine is based on a hypothesis stating that the body can work infinitely without any external energy source. Technically speaking, a device that can move or work infinitely is impossible as it would violate thermodynamics’

PASCAL’S LAW

Introduction Blaise Pascal, a well-known French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher, stated this law in 1647. This law asserts that the pressure exerted on a stationary liquid is the same in all directions. OR When external pressure is applied to any section of a fluid enclosed in a vessel, it is transmitted in all directions undiminished

OR Gate

An OR gate is a digital electronic logic gate. A logic gate is an electronic component that results in a single binary output after implementing its logic on the input signals. A logic gate follows certain logical relations between the inputs and the outputs. The inputs and the output only contain two values that are

Kelvin Planck Statement

“A device which works on a cycle and creates no other impact than the generation of work and the transmission of heat from a single body is impossible to build.” The terms “thermal reservoir” and “single reservoir” are used in this assertion. A reservoir is a huge item that maintains a steady temperature whereas energy

Heterogeneous Catalysis

The concept of heterogeneous catalysis involves some basic knowledge about the catalysts, phases, types of catalysis, etc. So, let’s understand these terms first to get a better idea about Heterogeneous catalysis. Phases- A phase of a substance is its physical form where it has uniform physical properties throughout. Phases include solid, liquid and gas. Catalysts-
