Study Notes
Entropy Change Calculation
- Entropy change for reservoirs can be computed during reversible isothermal processes.
- For a heat transfer process to a sink at 500 K, the source loses 2000 kJ, resulting in:
- (\Delta S_{source} = -2.5 \text{ kJ/K}) (at 800 K)
- (\Delta S_{sink} = +4.0 \text{ kJ/K}) (at 500 K)
- Net entropy generation during the process is +1.5 kJ/K, indicating irreversibility occurs in the partition.
- Repeating for a sink at 750 K yields:
- (\Delta S_{source} = -2.5 \text{ kJ/K})
- Total entropy change becomes 0.2 kJ/K, indicating a less irreversible process due to a smaller temperature difference.
Carnot Heat Engine Context
- Irreversibilities can be eliminated by using a Carnot heat engine, where total entropy change (\Delta S_{total} = 0).
Entropy Change of Pure Substances
- Entropy is a fixed property determined by the state of a simple compressible system, which can be established by two independent intensive properties.
- The change in entropy ((s_2 - s_1)) can be expressed through other thermodynamic properties.
Adiabatic Turbine Analysis
- Steam enters a turbine at 5 MPa and 450 °C and exits at 1.4 MPa.
- The analysis assumes:
- Steady-flow process with no time variation (ΔmCV = 0, ΔECV = 0, ΔSCV = 0).
- Process is reversible and adiabatic with no heat transfer.
- Work output is determined using the energy balance equation:
- (\text{Ein} - \text{Eout} = \frac{dE_{system}}{dt} = 0).
- Therefore, net energy transfer equals: (m(h_1 - h_2) = W_{out}).
- The process requires both pressure and one additional property for complete specification.
Learning and Organization Analogy
- Effective learning is compared to low-entropy organization: well-structured information is easier to retrieve.
- A high-entropy scenario, like disorganized books, hampers information retrieval during tests.
Gibbs Equation
- The conservation of energy for a closed system undergoing internally reversible processes is given by: [dQ_{int , rev} - dW_{int , rev, out} = dU.]
- Relating heat and work:
- (dQ_{int , rev} = T dS) and (dW_{int , rev, out} = P dV).
- This leads to the Gibbs equation: [T dS = dU + P dV]
- Only boundary work is notable for simple compressible systems during reversible processes.
Enthalpy Relationship
- The second T ds equation is expressed using the definition of enthalpy (h = u + Pv):
- (\int T ds = dh - v dP).
- Both equations are significant for relating changes in entropy to alterations in other thermodynamic properties.
