Re: Vocab. in thermodynamics
I have been working through a few textbook problems and haven't seen it come up yet... not 100% sure though.

Re: Vocab. in thermodynamics
I'm pretty sure we won't because Lavelle haven't really assigned anything with these terms but I'm not quite sure

I don't think so but I may bring it up to a couple UAs and respond later with more info

He did mention adiabatic system (but not adiabatic wall) in lecture today but other than that I have yet to see these terms discussed in lecture or in homework problems.

Definitely know the terms that are mentioned in lecture as they are fair game.
