Study Notes
- EML 6104 is a course on Classical Thermodynamics, Lecture 3.
- Prof. Like Li from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida teaches the course.
Introduction and Background: Concepts & Terminology
- Thermodynamics involves a postulatory formulation.
- A system consists of the environment/surroundings and a boundary that may be closed or open.
- Entropy and energy are fundamental concepts.
- A property can be extensive or intensive.
- The state represents the phase and equilibrium.
- A process involves interactions, a path, and cycles.
- Work transfer occurs with the absence of entropy transfer.
- Heat transfer is accompanied by entropy transfer.
- The Zeroth Law defines temperature.
- The First Law defines internal energy.
- The Second Law defines entropy.
Postulatory Formulation of Thermodynamics
- The basic problem involves determining the equilibrium state after removing internal constraints in a closed, composite system.
- All the results of thermodynamics come from its solution.
Conditions of Equilibrium: Thermal Equilibrium
- Equilibrium condition dS = 0, as per Postulate II.
- The equation for thermal equilibrium is (∂S^(1)/∂U^(1))(X1^(1),...,Xt^(1)) = (∂S^(2)/∂U^(2))(X1^(2),...,Xt^(2)).
- The relative nature of U means the curve S(U) can translate horizontally without affecting thermal system behavior.
- S is absolute, starting at S = 0, which means the curve cannot move up or down.
- U and S are extensive properties, and changing the thermal system size means that the S(U) curve changes size and maintains its shape.
- As energy increases, quantity of quantum states increases, in which S(U) is also an increasing function.
- The slope of the S(U) curve is positive, with dS(U)/dU > 0.
- Temperature (T) relates to the slope of the S(U) curve as 1/T = dS(U)/dU.
- As S approaches 0, the curve S(U) approaches the horizontal axis vertically, with dS(U)/dU approaching infinity or T approaching 0, reflecting the third law of thermodynamics.
- The curve S(U) is convex upward.
- The slope dS(U)/dU decreases as U increases, i.e., d²S(U)/dU² < 0.
- Thermal capacity C is defined by 1/C = dT(U)/dU.
Features of Function T(U)
- Temperature definition is 1/T = dS(U)/dU.
- Plotted function T(U) on the energy-temperature plane.
- Each point represents a thermodynamic state.
- Curve T(U) can be translated along the U axis.
- T starts at absolute zero with no upper bound.
- It is assumed that function T(U) is an increasing function.
Mechanical Equilibrium
- A closed, composite system consists of two simple systems separated by a movable diathermal wall that is impervious to the flow of matter.
- U^(1) + U^(2) = const, and V^(1) + V^(2) = const, which are closure conditions.
- The mechanical equilibrium's conditions is that T^(1) = T^(2) and P^(1) = P^(2).
Definition of Pressure
- For the entropy representation, the infinitesimal variation of S = S(U, V, N₁, ..., Nr) is expressed as dS = Σ (∂S/∂Xk) dXk from k=0 to t.
- In the energy representation, the infinitesimal variation is expressed as dU = Σ (∂U/∂Xk) dXk from k=0 to t, where U = U(S, V, N₁, ..., Nr).
- The electrochemical potential is represented by µj.
