What is meant by the dead state. Discuss its significance.

Answer and Explanation:

Dead state can be defined as the state in which both the are ambient properties and the system properties are coincident to each other.

Since the surroundings are similar and these surroundings are fixed also, there will be no kinetic energy and also the gravitational potential energy for both the systems is also equal.

Practically, in thermodynamic studies, the Gravitational potential energy of the system is negligible. This state holds significance because it leads to the termination of all the processes that are spontaneous in nature.
