When the substance is heated its temperature increases and when the susbtance is cooled its temperature reduces. The amount of heat required to added to the susbtance to increase it temperature by unit degree is called as the specific heat of the susbtance.
Ever hear a banging noise in your house whenever you run the water? Find out how it happens and other places it can occur. Also let us see what is cavitation?
The two systems are said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium with each other when they are in mechanical, chemical and thermal equilibrium with each other. Here are various types of equilibrium and the conditions for thermodynamic equilibrium of the system.

Drilling for oil involves penetrating through various layers of the earth surface to reach, deposits of hydrocarbons. Drilling goes on both below the subsoil on land or below the seabed.
There are two main types of thermodynamic processes: the reversible and irreversible. The reversible process is the ideal process which never occurs, while the irreversible process is the natural process that is commonly found in the nature.
The entropy of the system never reduces. In the ideal process it can remain remain constant, but in actual process the entropy of system and universe always increases. Let us why the entropy of the universe always increases and its relation to second law of thermodynamics.
The reversed heat engine works on the principle of reversed Carnot cycle. The heat engine produces work by absorbing heat from source and liberating some heat to sink. The reversed heat engine transfers the heat from sink to the source with the help of external work.
The term entropy was first used by Rudolf Clausius to state the second law of thermodynamics. Though entropy is a simple term, many people find it difficult to understand its exact meaning. Let us see what is entropy, and its relation to second law of thermodynamics.
