First and second law of thermodynamics

 Thermodynamic system

It is an assembly or collection of large number of particles(atoms, ions or molecules) at certain temperature, pressure and volume.

If a thermodynamic system can exchange heat with the surrounding then the system is called closed system.

It a thermodynamic system cannot exchange heat with the surrounding then it is called isolated system.

Physical variables and transducer

unit 3 Physical Variables and transducers  Sensor Sensors are electrical devices that have the capability of sensing different physical variables. The sensor may be classified on different bases one of them is a physical quantity. Hence on the basis of a physical quantity or physical vibration involved the sensors are classified as: Resistive sensor  The input being measured is transformed into a change in resistance. examples: potentiometer, resistance thermometer, strain gauge, etc. Inductive sensor The input being measured is transformed into a change in resistance. example LVDT. Capacitive Sensor The input being measured is transformed into a change in capacitance. example: capacitive Displacement sensor. On the basis of power supply required: Active Sensor Active sensors are those which do not require an external power supply.  example: thermo-couple Passive Sensor Passive Sensors are those which require a power supply. example: Potentiometer. Physical variables and ...
