Document Summary

Definition: independent of the size of the system: if you combined two identical systems, an intensive property would not change, c. examples, 1. Definition: properties that do not describe the state of a system and are dependent: b. Examples of path function: upon the pathway used to achieve (think nonconservative forces: work, heat, heat: energy transfer, heat: conduction, 1. Definition: thermal energy transfer via molecular collisions, i. e. higher energy: b. If one was too cool, it would not continue transferring heat to warmer bodies: note: higher conductivity results in lower temperature difference between any slab of a given length, heat: convection, a. Definition: thermal energy transfer via fluid movements: b. Differences in pressure or density drive warm fluid in the direction of cooler fluid, like hot air above the beach rising faster than cooler air above the ocean. 20: heat: radiation heat that transfers through a vacuum, a.
