Q1 Two identical finite systems of constant heat capacity Cp are initially at temperatures Tị and T2 where T1 > T2. (a) The systems are used as heat reservoirs of a Carnot cycle which does an infinitesimal work dW in each cycle. Show that the final equilibrium temperature of the heat reservoirs is T,T2. (b) Show that the final temperature of the systems if they are brought in contact in a rigid adiabatic container is (T1 + T2)/2.

Laws of thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is a field of research, which needs the creation of absolute and ideal states and logical and practical examination of the actual conditions. By considering all the laws and theories of thermodynamics, the chemical reactions, the occurrence of processes, and physiological functions can be predicted with this field.
