    Study Notes

    Introduction to Thermodynamics

    • Thermodynamics is the part of physics dedicated to the transformation of heat into work.
    • Energy exists in various forms including light, heat, mechanical, gravitational, and nuclear.
    • The goal of thermodynamics is to understand the relationships between different energy forms.

    Thermodynamics Laws

    • Zeroth Law: Defines temperature. Allows for the comparison of temperatures between systems.
    • First Law: Conservation of energy. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only transformed.
    • Second Law: Defines entropy. Quantifies the direction of spontaneous processes.
    • Third Law: Relates entropy to the order of systems.

    System and Surroundings

    • A system is a portion of the universe under study.
    • Surroundings are the rest of the universe outside the system.
    • Systems are separated from the surroundings by a boundary.
    • Systems exchange heat, work, and matter with their surroundings through the boundary.
    • Systems can be described microscopically (atomic/molecular level) or macroscopically (using measurable properties).

    System Classification

    • Isolated: No energy (heat/work) or matter exchange with the surroundings. (e.g., Thermos)
    • Closed: Energy (heat/work) exchange but no matter exchange. (e.g., Closed bottle)
    • Open: Energy (heat/work) and matter exchange. (e.g., Open bottle)

    Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Systems

    • Homogeneous: Uniform composition and a single phase. (e.g., Liquid)
    • Inhomogeneous: Multiple phases or varying composition. (e.g., Liquid and gas)

    Physical Quantities

    • Intensive: Independent of system size or amount of matter. (e.g., Temperature, Pressure, Density)
    • Extensive: Dependent on system size or matter amount. (e.g., Energy, Entropy, Mass).
    • Extensive quantities can be transformed into intensive quantities by dividing by volume.

    State Variables, State Functions, and State Equations

    • State variables: Properties that can be measured experimentally, used to characterize a system's state (e.g., Pressure, Temperature, Volume).
    • State functions: Parameters characterizing the system's state, but not directly measurable, they can be expressed in terms of state variables. (e.g., Internal Energy, Enthalpy, Gibbs Function, Free Energy).
    • Examples for an ideal gas: U=U(T)
    • State equation: Mathematical equations relating state variables, describing the system's state. (e.g., Ideal gas law: PV=nRT).
    • Heat and work are not state functions or variables.

    Ideal Gas

    • A system of particles (molecules) that do not interact. Collisions are elastic.
    • Ideal Gas Law: PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature (in Kelvin).
    • The ideal gas law is verified as a limit of the general gas law.
    • Avogadro's law: At the same P, T, V all gases have the same number of moles.

    Equilibrium States

    • Systems are in thermodynamic equilibrium when there is no tendency for spontaneous change.
    • Types of equilibrium: Mechanical, thermal, phase, and chemical.

    Processes

    • A process is a change in a system's state.
    • Quasi-static: Processes that occur infinitely slowly to maintain equilibrium at each step. Intermediate states are equilibrium states.
    • Non-static: The intermediate states are not equilibrium states.
    • Reversible: A quasi-static process that can return the system to its initial state by reversing the process. The system goes through the same intermediate states in reverse order.
    • Irreversible: A process that cannot be reversed to its original state through the same process.

    Types of processes (at constant parameter)

    • Isobaric: Constant pressure
    • Isochoric: Constant volume
    • **Isothermal:**Constant temperature
    • Adiabatic: No heat transfer

    Work

    • Work done on a particle is force times distance.

    • Thermodynamic work is related to work done by external forces on the system.

    • The sign convention is used to indicate the direction of energy transfer. Positive work happens when the system gains energy and negative work happens when the system loses energy.

    • Work is calculated as the integral of pressure with respect to change in volume, $W = \int{PdV}$.

    Pressure

    • Pressure is force per unit area.
    • Atmospheric pressure
    • Units of pressure (SI & CGS)
    • Absolute pressure vs. Gauge pressure vs. Manometric pressure vs. Vacuum pressure

    Manometer

    • Used to measure pressure differences, including atmospheric pressure.
    • Calculation of pressure using barometer and manometer

    Processes Representation (P-V Diagrams)

    • Graphical representation of processes.
    • Show relationship between pressure and volume as processes occur.

    Temperature

    • Related to the kinetic energy of particles.
    • Intensive property, identical throughout the system in thermal equilibrium.
    • Zeroth law of thermodynamics
    • Different scales (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin).

    Thermometry

    • Tools for measuring temperature, based on a thermometric property.
    • Examples (ideal gas, liquid, metallic rod)
    • Important properties of thermometric properties
    • Reproducibility of the measurements

    Thermal Coefficients

    • Thermal expansion (linear coefficient)
    • Volume coefficients
    • Other thermal coefficients of compressibility
    • Piezothermal coefficient.

    Water Expansion

    • Water's unusual behavior regarding temperature and density.
    • Specific case between 0-4 °C
