Point function:
- The thermodynamic properties which depend on the end state only (independent of the path followed) are known as point function like temperature, pressure, density, volume, enthalpy, entropy etc.
Path function:
- The thermodynamic properties which depend on the end states, as well as the path followed, are known as path function like heat and work.
Additional Information
Thermodynamic property:
- A thermodynamic property is any property that is measurable, and whose value describes a state of a system.
- Some e.g of the thermodynamic property are pressure, temperature, viscosity, density.
- Properties are point function i.e. these do not depend on the path followed.
Intensive Property:
- These are the properties of the system which are independent of mass under consideration. For e.g. Pressure, Temperature, density, etc.
Extensive Properties:
- The properties depend on the mass of the system under consideration. For e.g Internal Energy, Enthalpy, Volume, Entropy, etc.
