Study Notes
Heat Transfer
-
Conduction: direct transfer of heat between particles in physical contact
- Occurs in solids and stationary fluids
- Depends on temperature difference, material properties, and contact area
-
Convection: transfer of heat through fluid motion
- Occurs in fluids (gases and liquids)
- Depends on temperature difference, fluid properties, and flow velocity
-
Radiation: transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves
- Occurs in all media (solids, liquids, and gases)
- Depends on temperature difference and surface properties
-
Heat Transfer Mechanisms: combination of conduction, convection, and radiation
- Important in designing heat transfer systems, such as heat exchangers and refrigeration systems
Laws of Thermodynamics
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
- If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other
- Allows for the definition of a temperature scale
First Law of Thermodynamics
-
Energy Conservation: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another
- ∆E = Q - W (change in energy = heat added - work done)
- Internal Energy: total energy of a system, including kinetic energy, potential energy, and potential energy associated with the molecular structure
- State Functions: properties of a system that depend only on the current state, not on the path by which the state was reached (e.g., internal energy, entropy)
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Entropy: measure of disorder or randomness in a system
-
Entropy Increase: entropy always increases in a closed system over time
- ∆S = ∆Q / T (change in entropy = heat added / temperature)
- Clausius Statement: heat cannot spontaneously flow from a colder body to a hotter body
- Kelvin-Planck Statement: no heat engine can convert all the heat energy put into it into useful work
Third Law of Thermodynamics
- Absolute Zero: the lowest possible temperature, at which the entropy of a perfect crystal is a minimum
- Residual Entropy: the entropy of a system at absolute zero, which is not exactly zero due to quantum effects
Heat Transfer
- Conduction: occurs in solids and stationary fluids due to direct particle contact, influenced by temperature difference, material properties, and contact area.
- Convection: occurs in fluids (gases and liquids) due to fluid motion, influenced by temperature difference, fluid properties, and flow velocity.
- Radiation: occurs in all media (solids, liquids, and gases) through electromagnetic waves, influenced by temperature difference and surface properties.
- Heat Transfer Mechanisms: combine conduction, convection, and radiation, crucial in designing heat transfer systems like heat exchangers and refrigeration systems.
