Study Notes
Heat and Internal Energy
- Heat is the transfer of energy between a system and its surroundings due to a temperature difference.
- Internal energy is the total energy associated with the atoms and molecules within a system.
Specific Heat
- Specific heat is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of a substance by 1°C.
- Specific heat varies depending on the substance.
- The SI unit for specific heat is J/kg°C.
Heat Capacity
- Heat capacity is the quantity of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by 1°C.
- It is a measure of how much a substance can store heat.
Calorimetry
- Calorimetry is the measurement of heat transfer.
- The quantity of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance is determined by measuring the change in temperature.
- Heat lost by the cold object is equal to the heat gained by the hot object.
Latent Heat
- Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change.
- The heat needed to change the state of a given mass of substance without a temperature change.
- Latent heat of fusion is used when melting or freezing.
Conduction
- Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself.
- It works efficiently in solids.
Convection
- Convection is the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of the fluid itself.
- Warmer fluid rises and cooler fluid sinks, creating a circulating pattern.
Radiation
- Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
- No medium is required for radiation to occur.
Thermal Expansion
- Thermal Expansion is the change in size (length, area, or volume) of a material, when its temperature is either increased or decreased.
- Solids generally expand when heated and contract when cooled.
- The increase in volume of liquids is more significant than that of solids.
Heat Transfer
- Heat transfer is the net movement of heat energy between objects or systems of different temperatures.
Thermodynamic Processes
- Adiabatic process: no heat transfer between the system and the surroundings.
- Isobaric process: constant pressure.
- Isochoric (isometric) process: constant volume.
- Isothermal process: constant temperature.
Chapter 4: Adiabatic Processes
- During an adiabatic process, there's no heat exchange with the environment.
- Internal energy changes solely due to work done.
- The process is often fast, preventing heat transfer.
Cyclic process
- A cyclic process involves a series of changes that return the system to its initial state, following a repeating path.
- In a dynamic system, work may depend on the path followed.
