  2. Intensive and extensive properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive...

    The distinction between intensive and extensive properties has some theoretical uses. For example, in thermodynamics, the state of a simple compressible system is completely specified by two independent, intensive properties, along with one extensive property, such as mass. Other intensive properties are derived from those two intensive variables.

  3. List of thermodynamic properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermodynamic...

    "Specific" properties are expressed on a per mass basis. If the units were changed from per mass to, for example, per mole, the property would remain as it was (i.e., intensive or extensive ). Regarding work and heat

  4. Physical property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_property

    An intensive property does not depend on the size or extent of the system, nor on the amount of matter in the object, while an extensive property shows an additive relationship. These classifications are in general only valid in cases when smaller subdivisions of the sample do not interact in some physical or chemical process when combined.

  5. Conjugate variables (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_variables...

    The intensive (force) variable is the derivative of the internal energy with respect to the extensive (displacement) variable, while all other extensive variables are held constant. The thermodynamic square can be used as a tool to recall and derive some of the thermodynamic potentials based on conjugate variables.

  6. List of materials properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_materials_properties

    A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material. These quantitative properties may be used as a metric by which the benefits of one material versus another can be compared, thereby aiding in materials selection.

  7. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

    The parameters X i are independent of the size of the system and are called intensive parameters and the x i are proportional to the size and called extensive parameters. For an open system, there can be transfers of particles as well as energy into or out of the system during a process.

  8. Thermodynamic state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_state

    Once such a set of values of thermodynamic variables has been specified for a system, the values of all thermodynamic properties of the system are uniquely determined. Usually, by default, a thermodynamic state is taken to be one of thermodynamic equilibrium. This means that the state is not merely the condition of the system at a specific time ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Intensive_and...

    Bulk properties can be categorized into macroscopic and microscopic properties (distinguishing between unit and collective levels); intrinsic and extrinsic properties, as in the case of mass and weight (contrasting unit-specific and external influences); or intensive and extensive properties (differentiating between unit-based and collective ...
