Droplets form when the air inside the bottle cools below the dew point, and the surface provides a place for that moisture to collect.The side that was kept in complete darkness stayed consistently ...

Existing answer by Paulo Rodriguez is correct, and one might add: condensation is a remarkably sensitive indication of temperature when conditions are still. If the condensation is going to happen at ...

To add on to what the other answers said, another thing to consider is what will happen to the bottle temperature as the water condenses on it.Condensation releases heat. If you're trying to sense ...

In a closed container at constant temperature, the humidity will eventually reach 100% when there is any liquid water present.What happens when you have temperature differences? When you heat up air ...

Accepted

During heating, the working medium is not in contact with the hot environment. Similarly, during heat rejection, the working medium is not in contact with the cold environment. Below follows a short, ...

Callen's book has the significant merit of presenting a reasonable account of an axiomatic approach to Equilibrium Thermodynamics, following the path laid out by Tisza (Tisza, L. (1961). The ...

You are on the right track, and I believe that you should be concerned with which reservoir the heat is transferred from. In the Reverse Carnot Cycle, the gas only interacts with the cold reservoir ...

Callen's postulate mixing definition of equilibrium states with internal energy seems quite strange to me.An equilibrium state is defined by the presence of thermodynamic equilibrium: constancy of ...
