Homework Answers
Heat:
Heat is the amount of energy flowing from one body to another due to the difference in their temperatures.
Energy:
Energy is the capacity to do work. It is an extensive property. It includes the kinetic energy and potential energies. For a closed system, the energy transfer takes place across system boundary by means of only work and heat.
Refrigerator:
It is a device used to transfer the heat from low temperature medium to high temperature medium.
First law of thermodynamics:
It states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. Thus, energy is conserved. For an energy imbalance in a system, the energy change inside the system is difference between energy entering into the system and the energy leaving the system.
Energy balance neglecting the kinetic and potential energies is given as
