What are some applications of thermodynamics?

Answer 1

Example - One example of that is how the kinetic energy of a moving car is converted into heat energy at the brakes and tire surfaces.

terms of their energy conversion processes.

Automobile Engine

Chemical � Kinetic

Heater/Furnace

Chemical � Heat

Hydroelectric

Gravitational � Electrical

Solar

Optical � Electrical

Nuclear

Nuclear � Heat, Kinetic, Optical

Battery

Chemical � Electrical

Food

Chemical � Heat, Kinetic

Photosynthesis

Optical � Chemical

As you can see conversion between chemical energy and other forms of energy are extremely important, whether you are veterinarian or a mechanical engineer.

Answer 2

Any situation where energy transfer is desirable, thermodynamic principles are applied, and these applications are all around us. Some examples are:

Automobile engines operate using thermodynamic cycles,

Power plants convert and transfer energy to power electric turbines,

Heating and cooling our homes,

Refrigeration and cooking are obvious applications of these principles.

The design of chemical reactions, eg. the hot/cold packs for injuries,

Humans and many animals regulate and maintain body temperature,

Clothing functions thermodynamically,

Trapping and using Geothermal energy,

In the design and building of structures, especially skyscrapers

Answer 3

Some applications of thermodynamics are steam generators, refrigeration and air conditioning, internal-combustion engines, steam and gas turbines, and steam power plants.Additional Information:

Human bodies also apply the principles of thermodynamics. Human (and most land animal) respiratory systems, skin, mouths, tongues, and other specialized organs and systems of the body apply thermodynamics to regulate and maintain internal temperature in a wide range of ambient conditions.

Nuclear power plants employ thermodynamic principles;
Clothiers design and manufacture garments that help keep us warm in winter, cool in summer and anywhere in between;
Architects design homes, skyscrapers, stadiums, etc. with our thermal comfort in mind;
Automotive engineers design cars to warm or cool us, as we require;
We also use these same principles to capture and direct heat from deep within the earth, to supplement our energy needs.

Answer 4

One of the application of the first law of thermodynamics is in cyclic process.

In cyclic process, the system return to its initial state at the end of the cycle,the change in internal energy of the system along the complete cycle process is ZERO i.e.,dU = o

Thererfore for cyclic process,the first law of thermodynamic becomes

dQ = 0 + PdV

or, dW = PdV

i.e., in cyclic process, the heat supplied to the gas is wholly converted into work. It can prove that area of the cyclic process is numerically equal to the work done during the process.
