Difference between Pdv and Vdp (Or) Difference between close system work and open system work


Difference between Pdv and Vdp
(Or) Difference between close system work and open system work


Hello guys,
I was also irritated from these two terms during college time.
These two terms are coming from work done used in the equation of first law of thermodynamics.
dW = F.ds = (p.A).ds = p.(A.ds) = p.dV (close system)
               Here, pressure remains constant while volume changes throughout the process.This equation is valid for a closed system which doesn’t support mass transfer.     
             For example, a piston-cylinder arrangement.
For an open-flow process, the same equation turns out to be 
                        dW=V.dp(opensystem)                                                                                Here volume remains same but pressure changes.
             Fore example,  hydraulic pump
For closed system work, it is area just below the p-V curve up to V-axis. 

Difference between Pdv and Vdp (Or) Difference between close system work and open system work
 For open system work, it is area just left of p-V curve up to p-axis.

Difference between Intensive Properties and Extensive Properties

Difference between Intensive Properties and Extensive Properties Examples Intensive Properties :   Some examples of intensive properties include   melting point , boiling point , density , conductivity, resistivity, temperature, pressure and any physical property etc. Extensive Properties :   Some examples of extensive properties include volume , mass , kinetic energy, potential energy, work etc. Definition : Intensive Properties Intensive properties are physical properties that do not depend on the amount of matter. This means these properties are the same even if we measure them with different amounts of matter. Extensive Properties Extensive properties are physical properties that depend on the amount of matter. This means these properties can be changed when the amount or the size of the matter is changed. However, these are physical properties that can be observed without changing the chemical composition of matter. Descriptions: mel...

differences between CVs and resumes

         differences between CVs and resumes    major differences between CVs and resumes are the length, the purpose and the layout. ·        A resume is a brief summary of your skills and experience over one or two pages, ·        a CV is more detailed and can stretch well beyond two pages. ·        The resume will be tailored to each position whereas ·        the CV will stay put and any changes will be in the cover letter. ·        A CV has a clear chronological order listing the whole career of the individual whereas ·        A resume’s information can be shuffled around to best suit the applicant. ·        A CV is that a CV is intended to be a full record of your career history and ·      ...
