Study Notes
Fluids and Substances
- A fluid is a substance that flows and takes the shape of its container.
- A substance is composed of molecules.
- A pure substance is homogenous in composition and chemical aggregation.
- A simple substance has two independently variable intensive thermodynamic properties defining its state.
Types of Systems
- A closed system does not exchange matter with its surroundings.
- An open system allows mass transfer.
- An isolated system does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings.
Properties of Systems
- Macroscopic Properties: Pressure, temperature, density, and specific volume.
- Intensive Properties: Independent of the mass of the system (e.g., temperature, pressure, density, voltage).
- Extensive Properties: Dependent on the mass of the system (e.g., total volume, total internal energy).
- Specific Properties: Properties per unit mass (e.g., specific volume).
- Mass: The amount of matter in an object.
- Weight: The force of gravity acting on an object.
- Pressure: Caused from gas molecules hitting a surface (kinetic theory of gases).
Pressure Measurement
- Atmospheric Pressure: Standard pressure is 760 mm Hg, 29.92 in Hg, 14.696 psia (or 14.7), 1 atm.
- Gauge Pressure: Pressure relative to atmospheric pressure.
- Absolute Pressure: Atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure.
- Barometers: Used to measure atmospheric pressure.
Measuring Temperature
- Methods for measuring temperature are mentioned, including changes in electrical resistivity, voltage, and potential.
Thermal Equilibrium and Processes
- Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
- Isobaric Process: Constant pressure process.
- Isometric Process: Constant volume process.
- Thermodynamic Cycle: A series of processes where a system returns to its initial state.
