    Study Notes

    Thermodynamics Laws

    • First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
    • Joule-Thomson Coefficient: Measures the change in temperature of a gas or liquid when it expands through a porous plug or valve at constant enthalpy.
    • Entropy: A thermodynamic property that measures the degree of disorder or randomness in a system. It represents the total amount of energy in a system that is unavailable to do useful work.
    • Enthalpy: A thermodynamic property that represents the total energy content of a system. It includes the internal energy of the system plus the energy associated with the pressure and volume of the system.

    Thermodynamic Processes

    • Maxwell's Thermodynamic Relations: Mathematical equations derived using the fundamental equations of thermodynamics, which relate the partial derivatives of thermodynamic variables such as temperature, pressure, volume, and entropy.
    • Adiabatic Process: A process that occurs without any heat transfer between the system and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process, entropy remains constant because no heat is added or removed from the system.
    • Internal Energy as a State Function: Internal energy is a state function, meaning its value depends only on the current state of the system and not on how the system got there.
    • Joule-Thomson Porous Plug Experiment: Demonstrates the Joule-Thomson effect, where gas expands through a porous plug, resulting in a change in temperature. The experiment is used to determine the Joule-Thomson coefficient of a gas.
