  • Grand-Canonical Ensemble
    PHYS4006: Thermal and Statistical Physics Lecture Notes (Unit - IV) Open System: Grand-canonical Ensemble Dr. Neelabh Srivastava (Assistant Professor) Department of Physics Programme: M.Sc. Physics Mahatma Gandhi Central University Semester: 2nd Motihari-845401, Bihar E-mail: [email protected] • In microcanonical ensemble, each system contains same fixed energy as well as same number of particles. Hence, the system dealt within this ensemble is a closed isolated system. • With microcanonical ensemble, we can not deal with the systems that are kept in contact with a heat reservoir at a given temperature. 2 • In canonical ensemble, the condition of constant energy is relaxed and the system is allowed to exchange energy but not the particles with the system, i.e. those systems which are not isolated but are in contact with a heat reservoir. • This model could not be applied to those processes in which number of particle varies, i.e. chemical process, nuclear reactions (where particles are created and destroyed) and quantum process. 3 • So, for the method of ensemble to be applicable to such processes where number of particles as well as energy of the system changes, it is necessary to relax the condition of fixed number of particles. 4 • Such an ensemble where both the energy as well as number of particles can be exchanged with the heat reservoir is called Grand Canonical Ensemble. • In canonical ensemble, T, V and N are independent variables. Whereas, in grand canonical ensemble, the system is described by its temperature (T),volume (V) and chemical potential (μ). 5 • Since, the system is not isolated, its microstates are not equally probable.

We calculate the chemical potential, activity coefficient in both layers directly from the simulations. Based on thermodynamic relations, the entropy and enthalpy of the CO 2 adsorbed layers are also obtained. Their values indicate that there is a trade-off between entropy and enthalpy when a molecule chooses for one of the two layers. The first layer is a densely packed monolayer of relatively constant excess density with relatively large repulsive interactions and negative enthalpy.

  • Chapter 4 Solution Theory
    SMA5101 Thermodynamics of Materials Ceder 2001 Chapter 4 Solution Theory In the first chapters we dealt primarily with closed systems for which only heat and work is transferred between the system and the environment. In the this chapter, we study the thermodynamics of systems that can also exchange matter with other systems or with the environment, and in particular, systems with more than one component. First we focus on homogeneous systems called solutions. Next we consider heterogeneous systems with emphasis on the equilibrium between different multi-component phases. 4.1 WHAT IS A SOLUTION? A solution in thermodynamics refers to a system with more than one chemical component that is mixed homogeneously at the molecular level. A well-known example of a solution is salt water: The Na+, Cl- and H2O ions are intimately mixed at the atomic level. Many systems can be characterized as a dispersion of one phase within another phase. Although such systems typically contain more than one chemical component, they do not form a solution. Solutions are not limited to liquids: for example air, a mixture of predominantly N2 and O2, forms a vapor solution. Solid solutions such as the solid phase in the Si-Ge system are also common. Figure 4.1. schematically illustrates a binary solid solution and a binary liquid solution at the atomic level. Figure 4.1: (a) The (111) plane of the fcc lattice showing a cut of a binary A-B solid solution whereby A atoms (empty circles) are uniformly mixed with B atoms (filled circles) on the atomic level.

  • Chemistry 130 Gibbs Free Energy
    Chemistry 130 Gibbs Free Energy Dr. John F. C. Turner 409 Buehler Hall [email protected] Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy So far in chemistry 130, and in Chemistry 120, we have described chemical reactions thermodynamically by using U - the change in internal energy, U, which involves heat transferring in or out of the system only or H - the change in enthalpy, H, which involves heat transfers in and out of the system as well as changes in work. U applies at constant volume, where as H applies at constant pressure. Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy When chemical systems change, either physically through melting, evaporation, freezing or some other physical process variables (V, P, T) or chemically by reaction variables (ni) they move to a point of equilibrium by either exothermic or endothermic processes. Characterizing the change as exothermic or endothermic does not tell us whether the change is spontaneous or not. Both endothermic and exothermic processes are seen to occur spontaneously. Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy Our descriptions of reactions and other chemical changes are on the basis of exothermicity or endothermicity ± whether H is negative or positive H is negative ± exothermic H is positive ± endothermic As a description of changes in heat content and work, these are adequate but they do not describe whether a process is spontaneous or not. There are endothermic processes that are spontaneous ± evaporation of water, the dissolution of ammonium chloride in water, the melting of ice and so on. We need a thermodynamic description of spontaneous processes in order to fully describe a chemical system Chemistry 130 Equilibrium and energy A spontaneous process is one that takes place without any influence external to the system.

  • Lecture 13. Thermodynamic Potentials (Ch
    Lecture 13. Thermodynamic Potentials (Ch. 5) So far, we have been using the total internal energy U and, sometimes, the enthalpy H to characterize various macroscopic systems. These functions are called the thermodynamic potentials: all the thermodynamic properties of the system can be found by taking partial derivatives of the TP. For each TP, a set of so-called “natural variables” exists: −= + μ NddVPSdTUd = + + μ NddPVSdTHd Today we’ll introduce the other two thermodynamic potentials: theHelmhotzfree energy F and Gibbs free energy G. Depending on the type of a process, one of these four thermodynamic potentials provides the most convenient description (and is tabulated). All four functions have units of energy. When considering different types of Potential Variables processes, we will be interested in two main U (S,V,N) S, V, N issues: H (S,P,N) S, P, N what determines the stability of a system and how the system evolves towards an F (T,V,N) V, T, N equilibrium; G (T,P,N) P, T, N how much work can be extracted from a system. Diffusive Equilibrium and Chemical Potential For completeness, let’s rcall what we’vee learned about the chemical potential. 1 P μ d U T d= S− P+ μ dVd d= S Nd U +dV d − N T T T The meaning of the partial derivative (∂S/∂N)U,V : let’s fix VA and VB (the membrane’s position is fixed), but U , V , S U , V , S A A A B B B assume that the membrane becomes permeable for gas molecules (exchange of both U and N between the sub- ns ilesystems, the molecuA and B are the same ).

    arXiv:1004.0337 Thermodynamic potentials and Thermodynamic Relations in Nonextensive Thermodynamics Guo Lina, Du Jiulin Department of Physics, School of Science, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China Abstract The generalized Gibbs free energy and enthalpy is derived in the framework of nonextensive thermodynamics by using the so-called physical temperature and the physical pressure. Some thermodynamical relations are studied by considering the difference between the physical temperature and the inverse of Lagrange multiplier. The thermodynamical relation between the heat capacities at a constant volume and at a constant pressure is obtained using the generalized thermodynamical potential, which is found to be different from the traditional one in Gibbs thermodynamics. But, the expressions for the heat capacities using the generalized thermodynamical potentials are unchanged. PACS: 05.70.-a; 05.20.-y; 05.90.+m Keywords: Nonextensive thermodynamics; The generalized thermodynamical relations 1. Introduction In the traditional thermodynamics, there are several fundamental thermodynamic potentials, such as internal energy U , Helmholtz free energy F , enthalpy H , Gibbs free energyG . Each of them is a function of temperature T , pressure P and volume V . They and their thermodynamical relations constitute the basis of classical thermodynamics. Recently, nonextensive thermo-statitstics has attracted significent interests and has obtained wide applications to so many interesting fields, such as astrophysics [2, 1 3], real gases [4], plasma [5], nuclear reactions [6] and so on. Especially, one has been studying the problems whether the thermodynamic potentials and their thermo- dynamic relations in nonextensive thermodynamics are the same as those in the classical thermodynamics [7, 8]. In this paper, under the framework of nonextensive thermodynamics, we study the generalized Gibbs free energy Gq in section 2, the heat capacity at constant volume CVq and heat capacity at constant pressure CPq in section 3, and the generalized enthalpy H q in Sec.4.
