Study Notes
Maximum Work and Free Energy
- Maximum work and free energy are derived from combining the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
- Maxwell relations are also involved.
Overview
- Derive the Clausius inequality, expressing it in terms of the system only.
- Define Gibbs (G) and Helmholtz (H) state functions.
- Derive that Gibbs energy measures maximum non-expansion work.
- Derive the fundamental equation by combining the first and second laws.
- Use this equation to derive Maxwell relations and discuss their importance.
The Clausius Inequality
- For a system in thermal and mechanical contact with surroundings (not necessarily in equilibrium), undergoing spontaneous change, dSsys + dSsurr ≥ 0.
- This implies dSsys ≥ -dSsurr.
- Recall dSsurr= - dqsys / T.
- Therefore, dSsys ≥ dqsys / T.
- This is the Clausius inequality.
- Consider what happens if the system is isolated.
Concentrating on the System Only
- Entropy (S) measures spontaneity, but simultaneously considering the system and surroundings can be complex.
- System-only criteria for spontaneity are needed.
- For a system in thermal equilibrium with surroundings at temperature T, consider the Clausius inequality: dS - dq/T ≥ 0.
System-Only Parameters
- When heat transfer occurs at constant volume, dU = dq, since no work is done (dw = 0).
- This implies dS ≥ dU/T, which rearranges to TdS ≥ dU.
- System-only parameters are used to describe spontaneous change.
- Consider constant U and constant S.
- For heat transfer occurring at constant pressure (dU = dH), the Clausius inequality gives TdS ≥ dH.
Gibbs and Helmholtz Functions
- Two ways to describe spontaneous change without including surroundings.
- dU - TdS ≤ 0 and dH - TdS ≤ 0
- Helmholtz energy (A) is defined as A = U - TS, with dA = dU - TdS or ΔA = ΔU - TΔS.
- Gibbs energy (G) is defined as G = H - TS, with dG = dH - TdS or ΔG = ΔH - TΔS.
- Now spontaneity can be evaluated as dA ≤ 0 or dG ≤ 0, at constant T, respectively.
Why Focus on Gibbs Energy?
- Gibbs energy (G) is more popular than Helmholtz energy (A) at constant T and P.
- Spontaneous changes and reactions occur when Gibbs energy decreases.
- Gibbs energy can be used to determine if a change is enthalpy or entropy driven.
ΔG and Maximum Non-expansion Work
- Non-expansion work is additional work.
- Examples include moving electrons or raising a mass.
- ΔG is the maximum possible non-expansion work a system can perform at constant temperature and pressure. -ΔG = Wadd, max
Justification for Maximum Non-Expansion Work
- Change in enthalpy considers conditions and dH=dq+dw+d(pV)
- Corresponding change of Gibbs energy, dG = dH-TdS.
- At constant temperature and reversible change, ΔG = Wadd,max.
- This work can occur in any process occurring reversibly at constant P and T.
- Work can include electrical work or pushing electrons through a circuit.
ΔA and Maximum Work
- The change in Helmholtz energy is equal to the maximum work in a process.
- dA = dwmax
- Helmholtz functions are sometimes referred to as maximum work functions.
Justification for Maximum Work
- To demonstrate that maximum work = the change in Helmholtz energy, combine Clausius inequality (TdS ≥ dq) and first law (dU = dq + dw).
- dU ≤ TdS + dw.
- dw ≥ dU - TdS.
- Maximum work = the most negative value of dw = dU - TdS, or dwmax = dA for constant T.
Combining First and Second Laws
- First law states dU = dq + dw.
- Second law states dqrev = TdS.
- Also, dwrev = -pdV.
- Combining these gives dU = TdS - pdV.
Maxwell Relations
- The fundamental equation applies to enclosed systems with constant composition that do no additional work.
- Since U is a state function, dU is an exact differential, thus dU= (∂U/∂S)V dS + (∂U/∂V)S dV.
- This implies T = (∂U/∂S)V and -p = (∂U/∂V)S .
- Maxwell relations allow to derive relationships between quantities that might not seem related allowing for changes in the system in convenient paths.
- Maxwell relations can be derived for H, G and A.
- Table 3.5 includes derived Maxwell relations.
