Adiabatic Processes for Charged Ads Black Hole in the Extended Phase Space Adiabatic Processes for Charged AdS Black Hole in the Extended Phase Space Shanquan Lana, Wenbiao Liua,∗ aDepartment of Physics, Institute of Theoretical Physics, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, China Abstract In the extended phase space, a general method is used to derive all the possible adiabatic processes for charged AdS black hole. Two kinds are found, one is zero temperature adiabatic process which is irreversible, the other is isochore adiabatic process which is reversible. For the zero temperature adiabatic expansion process, entropy is increasing; pressure, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy and internal energy are decreasing; system’s potential energy is transformed to the work done by the system to the outer system. For the isochore adiabatic process, entropy and internal energy are fixed; temperature, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy are proportional to pressure; during the pressure increasing process, temperature is increasing and system’s potential energy is transformed to its kinetic energy. Comparing these two adiabatic processes with those in normal thermodynamic system, we find that the zero temperature adiabatic process is much like the adiabatic throttling process(both are irreversible and with work done), the isochore adiabatic process is much like a combination of the reversible adiabatic process (both with fixed entropy) and the adiabatic free expansion process (both with fixed internal energy). 1.

  • 3-1 Adiabatic Compression
    Solution Physics 213 Problem 1 Week 3 Adiabatic Compression a) Last week, we considered the problem of isothermal compression: 1.5 moles of an ideal diatomic gas at temperature 35oC were compressed isothermally from a volume of 0.015 m3 to a volume of 0.0015 m3. The pV-diagram for the isothermal process is shown below. Now we consider an adiabatic process, with the same starting conditions and the same final volume. Is the final temperature higher, lower, or the same as the in isothermal case? Sketch the adiabatic processes on the p-V diagram below and compute the final temperature. (Ignore vibrations of the molecules.) α α For an adiabatic process ViTi = VfTf , where α = 5/2 for the diatomic gas. In this case Ti = 273 o 1/α 2/5 K + 35 C = 308 K. We find Tf = Ti (Vi/Vf) = (308 K) (10) = 774 K. b) According to your diagram, is the final pressure greater, lesser, or the same as in the isothermal case? Explain why (i.e., what is the energy flow in each case?). Calculate the final pressure. We argued above that the final temperature is greater for the adiabatic process. Recall that p = nRT/ V for an ideal gas. We are given that the final volume is the same for the two processes. Since the final temperature is greater for the adiabatic process, the final pressure is also greater. We can do the problem numerically if we assume an idea gas with constant α. γ In an adiabatic processes, pV = constant, where γ = (α + 1) / α.

  • Thermodynamic Entropy As an Indicator for Urban Sustainability?

Ben Purvisa,*, Yong Maoa, Darren Robinsona aLaboratory of Urban Complexity and Sustainability, University of Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK bSecond affiliation, Address, City and Postcode, Country Abstract As foci of economic activity, resource consumption, and the production of material waste and pollution, cities represent both a major hurdle and yet also a source of great potential for achieving the goal of sustainability. Motivated by the desire to better understand and measure sustainability in quantitative terms we explore the applicability of thermodynamic entropy to urban systems as a tool for evaluating sustainability. Having comprehensively reviewed the application of thermodynamic entropy to urban systems we argue that the role it can hope to play in characterising sustainability is limited. We show that thermodynamic entropy may be considered as a measure of energy efficiency, but must be complimented by other indices to form part of a broader measure of urban sustainability. © 2017 The Authors.

Introduction The notion of using thermodynamic concepts as a tool for better understanding the problems relating to “sustainability” is not a new one. Ayres and Kneese (1969) [1] are credited with popularising the use of physical conservation principles in economic thinking. Georgescu-Roegen was the first to consider the relationship between the second law of thermodynamics and the degradation of natural resources [2].

  • Adiabatic Bulk Moduli
    8.03 at ESG Supplemental Notes Adiabatic Bulk Moduli To find the speed of sound in a gas, or any property of a gas involving elasticity (see the discussion of the Helmholtz oscillator, B&B page 22, or B&B problem 1.6, or French Pages 57-59.), we need the “bulk modulus” of the fluid. This will correspond to the “spring constant” of a spring, and will give the magnitude of the restoring agency (pressure for a gas, force for a spring) in terms of the change in physical dimension (volume for a gas, length for a spring). It turns out to be more useful to use an intensive quantity for the bulk modulus of a gas, so what we want is the change in pressure per fractional change in volume, so the bulk modulus, denoted as κ (the Greek “kappa” which, when written, has a great tendency to look like k, and in fact French uses “K”), is ∆p dp κ = − , or κ = −V . ∆V/V dV The minus sign indicates that for normal fluids (not all are!), a negative change in volume results in an increase in pressure. To find the bulk modulus, we need to know something about the gas and how it behaves. For our purposes, we will need three basic principles (actually 2 1/2) which we get from thermodynamics, or the kinetic theory of gasses. You might well have encountered these in previous classes, such as chemistry. A) The ideal gas law; pV = nRT , with the standard terminology. B) The first law of thermodynamics; dU = dQ − pdV,whereUis internal energy and Q is heat.

  • The Concept of Irreversibility: Its Use in the Sustainable Development and Precautionary Principle Literatures
    The Electronic Journal of Sustainable Development (2007) 1(1) The concept of irreversibility: its use in the sustainable development and precautionary principle literatures Dr. Neil A. Manson* *Dr. Neil A. Manson is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Mississippi. Email: namanson =a= olemiss.edu (replace =a= with @) Writers on sustainable development and the Precautionary Principle frequently invoke the concept of irreversibil- ity. This paper gives a detailed analysis of that concept. Three senses of “irreversible” are distinguished: thermody- namic, medical, and economic. For each sense, an ontology (a realm of application for the term) and a normative status (whether the term is purely descriptive or partially evaluative) are identified. Then specific uses of “irreversible” in the literatures on sustainable development and the Precautionary Principle are analysed. The paper concludes with some advice on how “irreversible” should be used in the context of environmental decision-making.

It is viewed through the lens provided by the ‗bioeconomist‘ Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen (1906–1994) and his advocacy of ‗the Entropy Law‘ as a determinant of economic scarcity. It is argued that exergy is a more easily understood thermodynamic property than is entropy to represent irreversibilities in complex systems, and that the behaviour of energy and matter are not equally mirrored by thermodynamic laws. Thermodynamic insights as typically employed in ecological economics are simply analogues or metaphors of reality. They should therefore be empirically tested against the real world.

Most modules contain computer programs which are built around a particular application of a physical process. This module describes the application of irreversible thermodynamics to biology. It begins with explanations of basic concepts such as energy, enthalpy, entropy, and thermodynamic processes and variables. The First Principle of Thermodynamics is reviewed and an extensive treatment of the Second Principle of Thermodynamics is used to demonstrate the basic differences between reversible and irreversible processes. A set of theoretical and philosophical questions is discussed. This last section uses irreversible thermodynamics in exploring a scientific definition of life, as well as for the study of evolution and the origin of life. The reader is assumed to be familiar with elementary classical thermodynamics and differential calculus. Examples and problems throughout the module illustrate applications to the biosciences.

Entropy production (or generation) is the amount of entropy which is produced in any irreversible processes. This can be achieved via heat and mass transfer processes including motion of bodies, heat exchange, fluid flow, substances expanding or mixing, deformation of solids, and any irreversible thermodynamic cycle, including thermal machines such as power plants, heat engines, refrigerators, heat pumps, and air conditioners.
