Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics - correct answer If two thermodynamic systems are each
in thermal equilibrium with a third, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. Must have
same temp
Specific Volume - correct answer reciprocal of density; volume per unit mass m3/kg

internal energy - correct answer the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all
particles in the system; kJ/kg

1 gram of a substance by 1 degree celcius; q=mc(t-t)
Ideal Gas Law - correct answer PV=nRT
isentropic process - correct answer constant entropy

adiabatic process - correct answer a thermodynamic process during which no energy is
transferred to or from the system as heat (thus no heat loss)
first law of thermodynamics - correct answer The principle of conservation of energy.
Energy can be transferred and transformed, but it cannot be created or destroyed.
,second law of thermodynamics - correct answer when energy is transformed, the
quantity of energy remains the same, but its ability to do work diminishes; entropy is increased
