Such quantities are called thermodynamic coordinates, variables or parameters. - Equilibrium: state of a macroscopic system in which all average properties do not change with time. (System is not driven by external driving force.) Why Study Thermodynamics ? - Thermodynamics predicts that the average macroscopic properties of a system in equilibrium are not independent from each other. Therefore, if we measure a subset of these properties, we can calculate the rest of them using thermodynamic relations. - Thermodynamics not only gives the exact description of the state of equilibrium but also provides an approximate description (to a very high degree of precision!) of relatively slow processes.

  • Statistical Thermodynamics - Fall 2009
    1 Statistical Thermodynamics - Fall 2009 Professor Dmitry Garanin Thermodynamics September 9, 2012 I. PREFACE The course of Statistical Thermodynamics consist of two parts: Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics. These both branches of physics deal with systems of a large number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) at equilibrium. 3 19 One cm of an ideal gas under normal conditions contains NL =2.69 10 atoms, the so-called Loschmidt number. Although one may describe the motion of the atoms with the help of× Newton’s equations, direct solution of such a large number of differential equations is impossible. On the other hand, one does not need the too detailed information about the motion of the individual particles, the microscopic behavior of the system. One is rather interested in the macroscopic quantities, such as the pressure P . Pressure in gases is due to the bombardment of the walls of the container by the flying atoms of the contained gas. It does not exist if there are only a few gas molecules. Macroscopic quantities such as pressure arise only in systems of a large number of particles. Both thermodynamics and statistical physics study macroscopic quantities and relations between them. Some macroscopics quantities, such as temperature and entropy, are non-mechanical. Equilibruim, or thermodynamic equilibrium, is the state of the system that is achieved after some time after time-dependent forces acting on the system have been switched off. One can say that the system approaches the equilibrium, if undisturbed. Again, thermodynamic equilibrium arises solely in macroscopic systems. There is no thermodynamic equilibrium in a system of a few particles that are moving according to the Newton’s law.

  • PHYSICS Is the Study of Energy and Consists of Five Main Branches Each Studies a Different Form of Energy
    S R E W S N A PHYSICS is the study of energy and consists of five main branches each studies a different form of energy: . Mechanics (The study of forces or work; work is a form of energy) . Thermodynamics (The study of heat; heat is a form of energy) . Acoustics (The study of sound; sound is a form of energy) . Optics (The study of light; light is a form of energy) . Electricity and magnetism (Both are forms of energy) Just as there are different forms of money (the nickel, the dime, the quarter, the "five-dollar" bill, the check, etc.), there are different forms of energy (heat, sound, light, electricity, etc.). Each different form is a different branch of physics. And, just as one form of money can be converted into a different form of money, likewise one form of energy can be converted into a different form of energy. Even matter is just a form of energy (E = mc2). The device used to convert one form of energy into another form of energy is called a TRANSDUCER. Some popular transducers include: . The light bulb (which converts electrical energy into light energy) . The electric motor (which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy) . The electric heater (which converts electrical energy into heat energy) . The generator (which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy) . The speaker (which converts electrical energy into sound energy) . The microphone (which converts sound energy into electrical energy) . The photocell (which converts light energy into electrical energy) The efficiency of a transducer tells us how well it converts one type of energy into another type of energy.

  • History of History of Physics
    Acta Baltica Historiae Historyet Philosophiae of History Scientiarum of Physics Vol. 4, No. 2 (Autumn 2016) DOI : 10.11590/abhps.2016.2.01 History of History of Physics Stanislav Južnič Dunajska 83, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The twelve decades of modern academic history of physics have provided enough material for the study of the history of history of physics, the focus of which is the development of the opinions and methods of historians of physics. The achievements of historians of physics are compared with the achievements of their objects of research, the physicists. Some correlations are expected. The group of historians-researchers and the group of their objects interacted. In several cases, the same person started out as a researcher and later moved on to the field of researcher of research achievements. There are also some competence-related quarrels between the two groups, the historians and the physicists. The new science called history of history of physics could be useful in a special case study of Jesuits. Jesuit professors formed a special group of physicists and historians studying the physicists, who were very influential in their time. Jesuits, except the very best of them such as Rudjer Bošković, Athanasius Kircher, or Christopher Clavius, were later omitted from historical surveys by their Enlightenment opponents. In the second half of the 19th century, Jesuit historians produced a considerable amount of useful biographies and bibliographies of their fellows. This makes them an interesting research subject for the history of history of physics as one of the best researched scientific-oriented networks worldwide, especially the Jesuits who were active in China.

Manuel Bächtold LIRDEF (EA 3749), Universités Montpellier et UPVM Abstract: The question of how to teach energy has been renewed by recent studies focusing on the learning and teaching progressions for this concept. In this context, one question has been, for the most part, overlooked: how should energy be defined throughout schooling. This paper addresses this question in three steps. We first identify and discuss two main approaches in physics concerning the definition of energy, one claiming there is no satisfactory definition and taking conservation as a fundamental property, the other based on Rankine’s definition of energy as the capacity of a system to produce changes.

  • Exploration of the Quantum Casimir Effect
    STUDENT JOURNAL OF PHYSICS Exploration of the Quantum Casimir Effect A. Torode1∗∗ 1Department of Physics And Astronomy, 4th year undergraduate (senior), Michigan State University, East Lansing MI, 48823. Abstract. Named after the Dutch Physicist Hendrik Casimir, The Casimir effect is a physical force that arises from fluctuations in electromagnetic field and explained by quantum field theory. The typical example of this is an apparent attraction created between two very closely placed parallel plates within a vacuum. Due to the nature of the vacuum’s quantized field having to do with virtual particles, a force becomes present in the system. This effect creates ideas and explanations for subjects such as zero-point energy and relativistic Van der Waals forces. In this paper I will explore the Casimir effect and some of the astonishing mathematical results that originally come about from quantum field theory that explain it along side an approach that does not reference the zero-point energy from quantum field theory. Keywords: Casimir effect, zero point energy, vacuum fluctuations. 1. INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY The Casimir effect is a small attractive force caused by quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in vacuum (Figure 1). In 1948 the Dutch physicist Hendrick Casimir published a paper predict- ing this effect [1, 2]. According to Quantum field theory, a vacuum contains particles (photons), the numbers of which are in a continuous state of fluctuation and can be thought of as popping in and out of existence [3]. These particles can cause a force of attraction. Most generally, the quantum Casimir effect is thought about in regards to two closely parallel plates.
