Section

1.01
o Thermodynamics is primarily a study of:
a) Wildlife and ecosystems
b) Personal medical health
c) The transfer of energy
d) How fluids move and flow
o True or False. Energy transfer is vital for all life on the planet Earth.
(Type 'True' or 'False' into the box below)
o The gas state is also referred to as the vapor state.
Section 1.02
o Where are populations expected to grow the most rapidly over the
next 20 years?
a) Developed countries
b) Developing countries
c) Antarctica
d) Mars
o True or False. Developed nations use more energy than developing
nations on both an absolute scale and on a per capita basis. (Type
'True' or 'False' into the box)
Section 1.03
o When your cell phone charger is plugged into an outlet and not
charging your phone, the charger still draws current (~0.01 amp);
which means your charger still uses power (~1.2 W) even when it is
not charging your cell phone. There are 6 billion cell phones in the
world. If everyone leaves there charger connected to an outlet, how
much power (in GW) is being wasted?
a) 7.2 GW
b) 5 GW
c) 6 GW
d) None of the choices

o True or false: As our energy demands in the future increase, we

should try to abandon fossil fuels completely and only use renewable
energy sources (type the 'True' or 'False' in the box).
Section 1.04
o Which of the following systems would be best represented as closed
systems (Choose one; there may be more than one correct answer)?
a) Diode laser
b) Fluorescent light bulb
c) Espresso Machine
d) Syringe pump
o Energy density is the amount of energy contained within a unit of
mass. Which section of the transportation sector needs the highest
energy densities for the fuel?
a) Passenger vehicles
b) Interplanetary rocketships

c) Jet aircraft
d) Marine shipping
Section 1.05
o True or false: Volume is an intensive thermodynamic property (type
'True' or 'False' into the box).
o In an open system, heat, mass and work can cross system boundaries.
(Type 'True' or 'False' into the box below)
o The conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit is T[F] = 1.8*T[C] +32
o Vapor and Gas are the same state.
Section 1.06
o True or false: a closed system that experiences heat and work transfer
into the system violates the first law of thermodynamics.
o In which situations is work being done (select one answer; there may
be more than one correct choice)?
a) You hold a heavy rock up at a constant height
b) You push a crate across the floor
c) A meteor floats through space, far away from any planets or
stars
d) The air in a balloon expands as you heat the balloon with a
match
