Study Notes
Thermal Equilibrium
- Two objects in thermal contact cease exchanging energy through heat or electromagnetic radiation when they reach thermal equilibrium.
- Thermal equilibrium implies that both objects are at the same temperature.
Thermometers and Temperature Scales
- Temperature is measured using devices called thermometers that utilize changes in physical properties as temperature changes.
- Common temperature scales include:
- Kelvin (Thermodynamic)
- Celsius
- Fahrenheit
- The Kelvin scale defines the triple point of water as 273.16 K.
- The triple point of water is the temperature at which liquid water, gaseous water, and solid water coexist in equilibrium.
- The steam point on the Kelvin scale is 373.15 K.
- Absolute zero (0 K) is the temperature at which the pressure of a gas is zero.
Types of Thermometers
- Thermometers are based on the principle that certain physical properties change with temperature. Some examples include:
- Volume/length of a liquid
- Length of a solid
- Pressure of a gas at constant volume
- Volume of a gas at constant pressure
- Electric resistance of a conductor
- The color of an object
- The emf of a thermocouple
Electrical Thermometers
- Electrical thermometers include:
- Resistance thermometers
- Thermocouples
- Thermoelectric thermometers
- These thermometers are generally more accurate than other types except for gas thermometers.
- They are faster-acting and less cumbersome.
Resistance Thermometers
- Resistance thermometers measure temperature using the change in resistance of a metal wire.
- The resistance wire can be made of platinum, nickel, or copper.
- They can measure temperatures between -200°C and 1000°C.
Thermocouples
- Thermocouples measure temperature based on the electromotive force (emf) generated between two dissimilar metals.
- They can measure a wide range of temperatures, from -270°C to approximately 2000°C.
- The wires in thermocouples are typically platinum or platinum-rhodium.
Thermoelectric Thermometers
- These thermometers consist of two thermocouples connected in series with a potentiometer and a constant-temperature bath.
- They measure temperature based on the electromotive force (emf).
- They are very sensitive and can measure temperature almost at a point.
- They can follow rapid temperature changes because they have low heat capacity.
Thermal Expansion
- Thermal expansion is the increase in volume or dimensions of a substance as its temperature increases.
- This phenomenon is a consequence of the increased separation between the atoms within the material.
- Thermal expansion is used in many applications, such as expansion joints in buildings, railways, and bridges to compensate for temperature-induced dimensional changes.
Ideal Gas
- The equation of state relates the volume (V), temperature (T), and pressure (P) of a gas.
- The equation of state is simplified for ideal gases maintained at low pressure or low density.
- Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume (P α 1/V).
- Charles's law states that at constant pressure, the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature (V α T).
- The equation of state for an ideal gas is PV = nRT, where:
- n is the number of moles
- R is the gas constant
Adiabatic Processes
- An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process during which no heat is exchanged between the system and the surrounding.
- In an adiabatic process, pressure and volume are related by: 𝑃𝑉 ϒ = 𝑐, where c is a constant.
- The work done in an adiabatic process can be calculated using the equation: W = (𝑃1𝑉1ϒ (𝑉21−ϒ − 𝑉11−ϒ))/(1−ϒ).
- The change in internal energy in an adiabatic process is the same as for an isovolumetric process between the same temperatures.
Specific Heat
- The specific heat of a gas is the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of one unit mass of the material by one degree.
- For an ideal gas, the specific heat at constant volume (Cv) and constant pressure (Cp) are related by: 𝐶𝑝 − 𝐶𝑣 = 𝑅.
- For a monoatomic ideal gas, 𝐶𝑝 = 5/2 𝑅 and 𝐶𝑣 = 3/2 𝑅, leading to a specific heat ratio (𝛾) of 1.67.
