Question

What is intensive property and extensive property in thermodynamics?

Answer 1

Answer:

intensive property means independent on the amount of material present in the system

extensive property means dependent on the amount of material present in the system

Answer 2

Intensive Property :-

• Intensive property is independent of the extent or mass of the system. Ita value remains the same whether one considers the whole system or only a part of it. Examples are pressure, temperature, density, composition, viscosity, thermal conductivity, electrical potential etc...

Extensive Property :-

• Extensive property on mass or extent of the system ; its value depends on how big a portion of the system is being considered. Examples inclue specific volume, specific energy, specific entropy, specific enthalpy etc...

e.g. : Specific Volume v = V/m
