Thermo 2 Heat Engines + 2008 Test Questions provides key ideas, vocabulary, formulas, and a reference table about heat, heat engines, and thermodynamics. It includes 5 multiple choice questions about heat transfer, heat engines, efficiency, and using the specific heat table to identify good heat conductors.

4. FORMULAS AND REFERENCE TABLES ΔL = αL o ΔT ΔV = βV o ΔT Q = mc ΔT ΔU = Q + W W = P*ΔV Efficiency = (T H – T C ) / T H

6. 1. If you had to explain to someone what thermodynamics is all about, what would you say?

7. 2. List the 4 Laws of Thermodynamics: Oth: 1st: 2nd: 3rd:

8. 3. You stir your coffee with a stainless steel spoon. You put the spoon in your mouth. You don’t burn your mouth, but the spoon is hot. You drink your coffee and unfortunately burn your mouth. Why do you burn your mouth with the coffee but not with the spoon, when they’re obviously starting at the same temperature?

9. 4. Explain the following : You take a lump of lead and place it above a Bunsen burner. It begins to melt at 328  C, and holds this temperature until all of the lead melts. After the entire lump is melted, the temperature rises. Why do you see a plateau on the warming curve?
