Study Notes
- Perfection is an illusion when it comes to achieving 100% efficiency in a heat engine
- The beauty of flaws and the resilience they inspire should be celebrated
Reversible and Irreversible Thermodynamic Processes
- Reversible processes are carried out infinitesimally slowly, keeping equilibrium undisturbed at any stage
- Reversible processes take infinite time for completion and yield maximum work
- Irreversible processes are carried out rapidly, where equilibrium may exist only after completion
- Irreversible processes take a finite time for completion and the work obtained in not maximum
- Reversible processes are those where the system and surroundings can return to original states by exactly reversing the process
- Irreversible processes cannot be undone by exactly reversing the change to the system
- Spontaneous and real processes are irreversible
Types of System Interaction
- "Isolated" systems exchange neither matter nor heat with the surroundings
- "Closed" systems exchange heat but not matter with the surroundings
- "Open" systems exchange both matter and heat with the surroundings
Thermodynamic Laws
- Energy is conserved, and its form can be converted (1st Law)
- Energies can flow and equilibrate (2nd Law)
- Thermal equilibrium is transitive (0th Law)
- "Driving force" for equilibration uniquely defined (3rd Law)
- Zeroth Law defines Temperature
- First Law defines Internal Energy
- Second Law defines Entropy
- Third Law defines Absolute Zero
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
- If two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third one, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
First Law of Thermodynamics
- Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can be converted from one form to another
- The transfer of energy between a chemical reaction system and its surroundings occurs as work or heat
- Formula for change in internal energy: ΔU = q + w, where ΔU is the change in internal energy, q is heat, and w is work.
- Q is + if heat is added to the system
- Q is - if heat is lost by the system
- W is + if work is done by the system
- W is - if work is done on the system
- There internal energy of the system increases since more heat is absorbed than the work done
Thermodynamic Processes
- Isobaric process: Thermodynamic process in which the pressure remains constant
- Isochoric process: Thermodynamic process in which the volume remains constant
- Adiabatic process: Thermodynamic process in which there is no heat transfer involved
- Isothermal process: The process in which the temperature remains constant
Enthalpy
- Formula: ΔH = Σn ΔH(products) − Σn ΔH(reactants)
- Where ΔH is the change in enthalpy, the sum of the standard enthalpies of formation of the products minus the sum of the standard enthalpies of formation of the reactants
- If the system is hotter after the reaction than before, it's an exothermic reaction
- Chemical reactions that release heat energy to the surroundings are exothermic
- Exothermic reactions have a negative enthalpy change (ΔH < 0)
- Reactants yield products in exothermic reactions
- Example of exothermic reactions, rusting
- If the system is colder after the reaction, it's an endothermic reaction
- Chemical reactions that absorb heat energy from the surroundings is endothermic
- Endothermic reactions have a positive enthalpy change (ΔH > 0)
- Reactants are less than products in endothermic reactions
- Examples of endothermic reactions: cooking an egg, evaporation
Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Entropy is a measure of the disorder in a system.
- Systems tend to gain entropy over time.
- Total entropy of both a system and its surroundings will never decrease.
- Factors affecting entropy: particle masses and density
- The change of entropy for a process occurring at constant temperature is defined as the heat (H) added or released during the process divided by the temperature (T) in kelvin
- Formula: ΔS = 0 for reversible processes
- Formula: ΔS > 0 for irreversible processes
What is Heat?
- Heat is the transfer of kinetic energy from one medium or object to another, or from an energy source to a medium or object
- It is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another object, when the objects have different temperatures
- Types of heat transfer: Conduction, Convection and Radiation
- Conduction - the transfer of heat from one substance to another by direct contact
- Convection is the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion
- Radiation - energy that is radiate or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
What is Temperature?
- Temperature measures how hot or cold an object is
- Temperature is determined by the average energy of the particles
- Formulas:
- °Fahrenheit = (9/5 × °C) + 32
- °Celsius = (°F - 32) × 5/9
- °Kelvin = °C + 273.15
- °Rankine = °F + 459.67
Effects of Heat?
- Calorie: the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of pure water by 1 degree Celsius
- 1 kcal = 1000 calories = 1 Calorie (nutrition)
- Joule is the SI unit of energy
- Named after British physicist
- 1 cal = joules
- 1000 J = 1 kJ
- Effects of heat:
- Rise in temperature
- Change in phase
- Change in size
- Chemical change
Specific Heat
- Specific Heat is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a material by 1°C
- Formula: Q = m c ΔT
-Where:
- Q = energy transferred (joules)
- m = mass of water (grams)
- c = specific heat capacity
- ΔT = temperature change (K or °C)
- Materials with low specific heat capacity heat up quickly.
- Metal have low specific heat capacity
- Water has higher specific heat capacity
Calorimeter
- It is a means to measure heat transfer during chemical or physical processes
- It measures heat transfer in terms of temperature changes
- "Coffee cup" calorimeters maintain constant pressure but volume changes may occur
- Equation for a coffee cup calorimeter: -q(lost) = q(gained), and -mCΔT = mCΔT
- Bomb calorimeter maintains constant volume
Linear Expansion
- Formula: ΔL = α⋅L₀⋅ΔT where:
- ΔL is the change in length,
- α is the coefficient of linear expansion,
- L₀ is the original length, and
- ΔT is the change in temperature
- Higher changes in temperature lead to greater expansion
- Materials with higher coefficients of thermal expansion experience greater expansion
- The Eiffel Tower can get about 17cm taller in the summer due to thermal expansion caused by exposure to the hot summer sun
