in thermodynamics, what does delta q with a subscript v mean?does it mean heat taken up at constant volume?>mfw i wish i paid moar attention in lectures
Heat differential divided by volume. Smells like chemistry in this thread amirite?
I like OPs picture it was pictures like that areare really coolwhen you see it
>>4208760yep, chemistry.>Heat differential divided by volumewhat is this?so does delta q with subscript p mean heat differential divided by pressure?
>>4208772Dohoho Gen. Chem I even.Tell you what. Type out the equations you want explained, or even better a specific problem and I'll help you out. What you have there is a little too vague.Bonus points for LaTeX.

>>4208806Ok for this the deltas always signify that you're looking for the change in some quantity. P is pressure V is volume. U is the potential energy. This is really just plug and chug tier stuff, is there a particular concept you don't get?
>>4208842all of that's finei just don't know what the delta q (subscript p) means
The heat of your system at some constant pressure p.
>>4208852thank you.and delta q subscript v = heat at a certain constant volume?in general for thermodynamics, does X subscript Z mean X at a certain constant value of Z?
>>4208858Ummm yes. Really that's just a notational thing though and it can vary, but in this case that's what your prof means. Also "in general" in thermodynamics you'll be using calculus instead of these algebraic approximations. I really don't know why they bother to teach people this stuff any more because if you're actually going into a science where thermo is involved you need a WAY more thorough treatment and if you aren't this shit is marginally useless and rarely teaches anything beyond hurr memorize plug valuez.
>>4208869yeah it's first term so we're just doing foundation stuff to get everyone up to the same level apparently.thanks for the reply /sci/bro.
>delta q subscript vWhatthefuckamireadingPic relatedQv(And I don't know what that means, haven't seen many in thermodynamics at all)
>>4208899thanks for the pic>haven't seen many in thermodynamics at all>mfw
>>4208924I could offer dS, Q, SEVN and cV in the context of Deltas and superscripts.
>>4208941I think this is a chemistry question. They're afraid of partials there.
