Study Notes
Energy Types
- Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, Nuclear, Light/Radiant, Heat/Thermal
- Heat is essential for many material processes as it provides the energy required for those processes to occur
Heat and Materials
- Latent heat is the energy required for a phase change, associated with the change in entropy (randomness) of the atomic arrangement
- Sensible heat is the vibration of atoms; at absolute zero (0K/-273°C) atomic oscillation ceases
- The average vibrational energy of each atom is equal to 3kBT, where kB is Boltzmann's constant
Thermal Energy Storage
- Atoms in a solid can be visualized as being connected by springs, though this is not the actual situation
- Atomic vibration stretches one spring and compresses the other, energy is maximum when the stretch is maximum and minimum when the stretch is zero
Bonding Energy and Interatomic Spacing
- Attractive forces arise from the positive nucleus of one atom being attracted to the negative electrons of the other
- Repulsive forces arise from nuclei and electrons of each atom also repelling each other
- Equilibrium distance between atoms is caused by a balance between repulsive and attractive forces
- The total interatomic energy of the pair of atoms is at a minimum at the equilibrium separation, where no net force is acting
Binding Energy
- Binding energy is the minimum energy required to create or break a bond
- It is calculated by integrating force over distance from infinity to the equilibrium separation
Atomic Motion in Solids
- Heat is the motion of atoms
- Atomic motion in solids is limited by the bonds with neighboring atoms
- Vibrations form standing waves of various wavelengths
- Each atom has 3 distinct wavelengths
Heat Capacity (Specific Heat)
- Heat capacity, Cp, is a material property that characterizes the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of a given mass of that material
- Cp denotes a measurement at constant pressure
- For gases, the measurement is more commonly made at constant volume (Cv)
- The difference between Cp and Cv is negligible for liquids and solids
- The average vibrational energy of each atom is equal to 3kBT
- The specific heat is the change in energy per change in temperature
- ρCp, where ρ is density, is called volumetric heat capacity
Example: Heat Capacity
- To estimate the energy required to raise the temperature of a material, use the formula E = mCpΔT, where m is mass, Cp is specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature change
Temperature-Varying Properties
- Many material properties change with temperature
- These curves exhibit similar trends, but different materials have different critical temperatures at which the property changes significantly
- For example, strength decreases with increasing temperature, but different materials have different temperature values at which they exhibit similar strength reductions
Types of Energy
- Mechanical energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, light/radiant energy, and heat/thermal energy are all forms of energy.
Importance Of Heat To Material Behaviour
- Heat is essential for material behavior because it provides the energy to drive many processes.
Materials and Heat
- Latent Heat: Energy required for a phase change, associated with the change in entropy (randomness) of the atomic arrangement.
- Sensible Heat: Vibration of atoms; at absolute zero (0K/-273°C), atoms in a solid would cease to oscillate.
Sensible Heat
- The average vibrational energy of each atom is equal to 3kBT, where kB is Boltzmann’s constant.
Thermal Energy Storage
- Imagine atoms in a solid connected by springs, with energy at a maximum when the separation between atoms (Δa) is maximized and at a minimum when Δa is zero.
Bonding Energy and Interatomic Spacing
- Attractive forces exist between the positive nucleus of one atom and the negative electrons of another.
- Repulsive forces exist between the nuclei and electrons of each atom.
- Equilibrium distance between atoms is achieved when the balance between repulsive and attractive forces results in minimal total interatomic energy. No net force acts to attract or repel the atoms.
Binding Energy
- The minimum energy required to create or break a bond is called the binding energy.
Atomic Motion in Solids
- Atomic motion in solids is limited by bonds with neighboring atoms.
- Vibrations form standing waves of various wavelengths, with each atom having three distinct wavelengths.
Heat Capacity (Specific Heat)
- Heat Capacity, Cp: A material property that determines how much energy is needed to increase the temperature of a given mass of that material. The subscript 'p' indicates constant pressure.
- Constant Volume Heat Capacity, Cv: Used for gases instead of Cp, while the difference for liquids and solids is negligible.
Heat Capacity (Specific Heat) Cont.
- Specific heat is calculated as the change in energy divided by the change in temperature.
- Since atomic volumes don't vary much, ρCp is called volumetric heat capacity.
Example: Heat Capacity
- The energy required to raise one cubic meter of aluminum from 20ºC to its melting point (660ºC) can be calculated using its density (ρ=2710 kg/m3) and specific heat (Cp=2600 J/kg K).
Temperature-Varying Properties
- Many material properties change with temperature.
- Different materials have different critical temperatures at which they exhibit similar trends, like reductions in strength.
