100

This is how we determine if a system is closed or open.

Mass crosses boundary of open system.

100

This SI unit is equivalent to one Newton per square meter.

Pa

200

Mode of energy transfer between a solid surface and the adjacent liquid or gas that is in motion.

Convection

The phase of water at 3.0 kPa and 30°C.

superheated vapor

200

The amount of work done by air that expands at a constant pressure of 100 kPa from a volume of 0.1 m3 to 0.2 m3.

10 kJ

200

The ideal version of this cycle consists of the following processes: isentropic compression, constant-volume heat addition, isentropic expansion, and constant-volume heat rejection.

Otto cycle

200

This prefix means 106.

mega, M

300

Property that is a measure of the ability of the material to conduct heat.

thermal conductivity

300

In a saturated mixture, this is the ratio of the mass of the vapor to the total mass.

quality

300

The log mean temperature difference of a counterflow heat exchanger that heats water from 20°C to 80°C with hot water that enters at 160°C and is cooled to 125°C.

91.9°C

300

This word means no heat transfer.

adiabatic

300

This SI unit is equivalent to one joule per second.

watt (W)
