  • 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.

  • Muddiest Point – Entropy and Reversible I Am Confused About Entropy and How It Is Different in a Reversible Versus Irreversible Case
    1 Muddiest Point { Entropy and Reversible I am confused about entropy and how it is different in a reversible versus irreversible case. Note: Some of the discussion below follows from the previous muddiest points comment on the general idea of a reversible and an irreversible process. You may wish to have a look at that comment before reading this one. Let's talk about entropy first, and then we will consider how \reversible" gets involved. Generally we divide the universe into two parts, a system (what we are studying) and the surrounding (everything else). In the end the total change in the entropy will be the sum of the change in both, dStotal = dSsystem + dSsurrounding: This total change of entropy has only two possibilities: Either there is no spontaneous change (equilibrium) and dStotal = 0, or there is a spontaneous change because we are not at equilibrium, and dStotal > 0. Of course the entropy change of each piece, system or surroundings, can be positive or negative. However, the second law says the sum must be zero or positive. Let's start by thinking about the entropy change in the system and then we will add the entropy change in the surroundings. Entropy change in the system: When you consider the change in entropy for a process you should first consider whether or not you are looking at an isolated system. Start with an isolated system. An isolated system is not able to exchange energy with anything else (the surroundings) via heat or work. Think of surrounding the system with a perfect, rigid insulating blanket.

  • Isothermal Process It Is the Process in Which Other Physical Quantities Might Change but the Temperature of the System Remains Or Is Forced to Remain Constant
    Sajit Chandra Shakya Department of Physics Kathmandu Don Bosco College New Baneshwor, Kathmandu Isothermal process It is the process in which other physical quantities might change but the temperature of the system remains or is forced to remain constant. For example, the constant temperature of human body. Under constant temperature, the volume of a gas system is inversely proportional to the pressure applied, the phenomena being called Boyle's Law, written in symbols as 1 V ∝ P 1 Or, V = KB× where KB is a constant quantity. P Or, PV = KB …………….. (i) This means whatever be the values of volume and pressure, their product will be constant. So, P1V1 = KB, P2V2 = KB, P3V3 = KB, etc, Or, P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3, etc. The requirements for an isothermal process are as follows: 1. The process should be carried very slowly so that there is an ample time for compensation of heat in case of any loss or addition. 2. The boundaries of the system should be highly conducting so that there is a path for heat to flow into or flow away from a closed space in case of any energy loss or oversupply. 3. The boundaries should be made very thin because the resistance of the substance for heat conduction will be less for thin boundaries. Since in an isothermal change, the temperature remains constant, the internal energy also does not change, i.e. dU = 0. So if dQ amount of heat is given to a system which undergoes isothermal change, the relation for the first law of thermodynamics would be dQ = dU + dW Or, dQ = 0 + PdV Or, dQ = PdV This means all the heat supplied will be utilized for performing external work and consequently its value will be very high compared to other processes.

Why does the volume increase? 3 4 The First Law of Thermodynamics The First Law of Thermodynamics The First Law is often written as: Some of the heat energy goes into raising the temperature of the gas (which is equivalent to raising the internal energy of the gas).

  • 17.Examples of the 1St Law Rev2.Nb
    17. Examples of the First Law Introduction and Summary The First Law of Thermodynamics is basically a statement of Conservation of Energy. The total energy of a thermodynamic system is called the Internal Energy U. A system can have its Internal Energy changed (DU) in two major ways: (1) Heat Q > 0 can flow into the system from the surroundings, in which case the change in internal energy of the system increases: DU = Q. (2) The system can do work W > 0 on the surroundings, in which case the internal energy of the system decreases: DU = - W. Generally, the system interacts with the surroundings by exchanging both heat Q and doing work W, and the internal energy changes DU = Q - W This is the first law of thermodynamics and in it, W is the thermodynamic work done by the system on the surroundings. If the definition of mechanical work W were used instead of W, then the 1st Law would appear DU = Q + W because doing work on the system by the surroundings would increase the internal energy of the system DU = W. The 1st Law is simply the statement that the internal energy DU of a system can change in two ways: through heat Q absorption where, for example, the temperature changes, or by the system doing work -W, where a macroscopic parameter like volume changes. Below are some examples of using the 1st Law. The Work Done and the Heat Input During an Isobaric Expansion Suppose a gas is inside a cylinder that has a movable piston. The gas is in contact with a heat reservoir that is at a higher temperature than the gas so heat Q flows into the gas from the reservoir.

  • 3. the First Law of Thermodynamics and Related Definitions
    09/30/08 1 3. THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS AND RELATED DEFINITIONS 3.1 General statement of the law Simply stated, the First Law states that the energy of the universe is constant. This is an empirical conservation principle (conservation of energy) and defines the term "energy." We will also see that "internal energy" is defined by the First Law. [As is always the case in atmospheric science, we will ignore the Einstein mass-energy equivalence relation.] Thus, the First Law states the following: 1. Heat is a form of energy. 2. Energy is conserved. The ways in which energy is transformed is of interest to us. The First Law is the second fundamental principle in (atmospheric) thermodynamics, and is used extensively. (The first was the equation of state.) One form of the First Law defines the relationship among work, internal energy, and heat input. In this chapter (and in subsequent chapters), we will explore many applications derived from the First Law and Equation of State. 3.2 Work of expansion If a system (parcel) is not in mechanical (pressure) equilibrium with its surroundings, it will expand or contract. Consider the example of a piston/cylinder system, in which the cylinder is filled with a gas. The cylinder undergoes an expansion or compression as shown below. Also shown in Fig. 3.1 is a p-V thermodynamic diagram, in which the physical state of the gas is represented by two thermodynamic variables: p,V in this case. [We will consider this and other types of thermodynamic diagrams in more detail later.

  • W 15 “Isotherms of Real Gases”
    Fakultät für Physik und Geowissenschaften Physikalisches Grundpraktikum W 15 “Isotherms of Real Gases” Tasks 1. Measure the isotherms of a substance for eight temperatures. Describe the processes that occur close to the critical point. 2. Plot the isotherms and determine the saturation vapour pressure ps in the region of the Maxwell line (coexistence of fluid and vapour). 3. Plot ln(ps) as a function of (1/T). Fit the vapour-pressure equation to the data and determine the average molar latent heat of vaporization of the substance under study. 4. Determine the amount of substance of the substance under study. 5. Use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to determine the molar heat of vaporization as a function of temperature. Plot the latent heat as a function of the reduced temperature T/TK and fit a power law to the data. Literature Physikalisches Praktikum, Hrsg. W. Schenk, F. Kremer, 13.
