Isobaric Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

any force has 2 measurable characteristics magnitude (size or strength) and direction Pressure Gradient Force (PGF) the gradient of any physical quantity is a measure of the difference in the value of that quantity at two different locations divided by the distance between those two locations PGF Equations X2 - X1 / D PGF moves from high pressure to low pressure isobars same pressure so PGF is perpendicular to isobars here Coriolis Effect the effect that ...

The branch which deals with the movement of energy from one form to the other and the relation between heat and temperature with energy and work done is called as thermodynamics. In other terms we can define thermodynamics as the science stream that deals with the study of the combined effects of heat and work on the changes of state of matter confined by the laws of thermodynamics.
