Study Notes
Thermodynamics
- Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations.
- First Law of Thermodynamics: Conservation of energy.
- Thermodynamic property examples include pressure.
- System boundary: An imaginary or real surface separating the system from its surroundings.
- Closed system: Only energy can cross the system boundary.
- Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: Helps with temperature measurement.
- Work done by a system: The system does work on the surroundings.
- Adiabatic process: Process without heat transfer.
- Second Law of Thermodynamics: The entropy of an isolated system always increases.
- SI unit of heat energy: Joule.
- Isochoric process: Constant volume.
- Specific heat: Heat required to raise one mole of a substance by 1 Kelvin.
- Isothermal process: Constant temperature.
- First Law relates heat, work, and internal energy.
- Isobaric process: Constant pressure.
- Second Law implication: Perpetual motion machines are impossible.
- Open system: Allows both mass and energy transfer.
- Thermodynamics primarily focuses on thermal systems.
- Entropy: Measures disorder or randomness in a system.
- Extensive property: Temperature is not an extensive property.
