The First Law of Thermodynamics for Closed Systems A) the Energy
Chapter 3: The First Law of Thermodynamics for Closed Systems a) The Energy Equation for Closed Systems We consider the First Law of Thermodynamics applied to stationary closed systems as a conservation of energy principle. Thus energy is transferred between the system and the surroundings in the form of heat and work, resulting in a change of internal energy of the system. Internal energy change can be considered as a measure of molecular activity associated with change of phase or temperature of the system and the energy equation is represented as follows: Heat (Q) Energy transferred across the boundary of a system in the form of heat always results from a difference in temperature between the system and its immediate surroundings. We will not consider the mode of heat transfer, whether by conduction, convection or radiation, thus the quantity of heat transferred during any process will either be specified or evaluated as the unknown of the energy equation. By convention, positive heat is that transferred from the surroundings to the system, resulting in an increase in internal energy of the system Work (W) In this course we consider three modes of work transfer across the boundary of a system, as shown in the following diagram: Source URL: http://www.ohio.edu/mechanical/thermo/Intro/Chapt.1_6/Chapter3a.html Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/me103#4.1 Attributed to: Israel Urieli www.saylor.org Page 1 of 7 In this course we are primarily concerned with Boundary Work due to compression or expansion of a system in a piston-cylinder device as shown above. -
Law of Conversation of Energy
Law of Conservation of Mass: "In any kind of physical or chemical process, mass is neither created nor destroyed - the mass before the process equals the mass after the process." - the total mass of the system does not change, the total mass of the products of a chemical reaction is always the same as the total mass of the original materials. "Physics for scientists and engineers," 4th edition, Vol.1, Raymond A. Serway, Saunders College Publishing, 1996. Ex. 1) When wood burns, mass seems to disappear because some of the products of reaction are gases; if the mass of the original wood is added to the mass of the oxygen that combined with it and if the mass of the resulting ash is added to the mass o the gaseous products, the two sums will turn out exactly equal. 2) Iron increases in weight on rusting because it combines with gases from the air, and the increase in weight is exactly equal to the weight of gas consumed. Out of thousands of reactions that have been tested with accurate chemical balances, no deviation from the law has ever been found. Law of Conversation of Energy: The total energy of a closed system is constant. Matter is neither created nor destroyed – total mass of reactants equals total mass of products You can calculate the change of temp by simply understanding that energy and the mass is conserved - it means that we added the two heat quantities together we can calculate the change of temperature by using the law or measure change of temp and show the conservation of energy E1 + E2 = E3 -> E(universe) = E(System) + E(Surroundings) M1 + M2 = M3 Is T1 + T2 = unknown (No, no law of conservation of temperature, so we have to use the concept of conservation of energy) Total amount of thermal energy in beaker of water in absolute terms as opposed to differential terms (reference point is 0 degrees Kelvin) Knowns: M1, M2, T1, T2 (Kelvin) When add the two together, want to know what T3 and M3 are going to be. -
Isolated Systems with Wind Power an Implementation Guideline
RisB-R=1257(EN) Isolated Systems with Wind Power An Implementation Guideline Niels-Erik Clausen, Henrik Bindner, Sten Frandsen, Jens Carsten Hansen, Lars Henrik Hansen, Per Lundsager Risa National Laboratory, Roskilde, Denmark June 2001 Abstract The overall objective of this research project is to study the devel- opment of methods and guidelines rather than “universal solutions” for the use of wind energy in isolated communities. So far most studies of isolated systems with wind power have been case-oriented and it has proven difficult to extend results from one project to another, not least due to the strong individuality that has characterised such systems in design and implementation. In the present report a unified and generally applicable approach is attempted in order to support a fair assessment of the technical and economical feasibility of isolated power supply systems with wind energy. General guidelines and checklists on which facts and data are needed to carry out a project feasibility analysis are presented as well as guidelines how to carry out the project feasibility study and the environmental analysis. The report outlines the results of the project as a set of proposed guidelines to be applied when developing a project containing an application of wind in an isolated power system. It is the author’s hope that this will facilitate the devel- opment of projects and enhance electrification of small rural communities in developing countries.

Chapter 6. Time Evolution in Quantum Mechanics
6. Time Evolution in Quantum Mechanics 6.1 Time-dependent Schrodinger¨ equation 6.1.1 Solutions to the Schr¨odinger equation 6.1.2 Unitary Evolution 6.2 Evolution of wave-packets 6.3 Evolution of operators and expectation values 6.3.1 Heisenberg Equation 6.3.2 Ehrenfest’s theorem 6.4 Fermi’s Golden Rule Until now we used quantum mechanics to predict properties of atoms and nuclei. Since we were interested mostly in the equilibrium states of nuclei and in their energies, we only needed to look at a time-independent description of quantum-mechanical systems. To describe dynamical processes, such as radiation decays, scattering and nuclear reactions, we need to study how quantum mechanical systems evolve in time. 6.1 Time-dependent Schro¨dinger equation When we first introduced quantum mechanics, we saw that the fourth postulate of QM states that: The evolution of a closed system is unitary (reversible). The evolution is given by the time-dependent Schrodinger¨ equation ∂ ψ iI | ) = ψ ∂t H| ) where is the Hamiltonian of the system (the energy operator) and I is the reduced Planck constant (I = h/H2π with h the Planck constant, allowing conversion from energy to frequency units). We will focus mainly on the Schr¨odinger equation to describe the evolution of a quantum-mechanical system. The statement that the evolution of a closed quantum system is unitary is however more general. It means that the state of a system at a later time t is given by ψ(t) = U(t) ψ(0) , where U(t) is a unitary operator. -
Thermochemisty: Heat
Thermochemisty: Heat System: The universe chosen for study – a system can be as large as all the oceans on Earth or as small as the contents of a beaker. We will be focusing on a system's interactions – transfer of energy (as heat and work) and matter between a system and its surroundings. Surroundings: part of the universe outside the system in which interactions can be detected. 3 types of systems: a) Open – freely exchange energy and matter with its surroundings b) Closed – exchange energy with its surroundings, but not matter c) Isolated – system that does not interact with its surroundings Matter (water vapor) Heat Heat Heat Heat Open System Closed System Isolated system Examples: a) beaker of hot coffee transfers energy to the surroundings – loses heat as it cools. Matter is also transferred in the form of water vapor. b) flask of hot coffee transfers energy (heat) to the surroundings as it cools. Flask is stoppered, so no water vapor escapes and no matter is transferred c) Hot coffee in an insulated flask approximates an isolated system. No water vapor escapes and little heat is transferred to the surroundings. Energy: derived from Greek, meaning "work within." Energy is the capacity to do work. Work is done when a force acts through a distance. Energy of a moving object is called kinetic energy ("motion" in Greek). K.E. = ½ * m (kg) * v2 (m/s) Work = force * distance = m (kg) * a (m/s2) * d (m) When combined, get the SI units of energy called the joule (J) 1 Joule = 1 (kg*m2)/(s2) The kinetic energy that is associated with random molecular motion is called thermal energy. -
How Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics Speaks to the Mystery of Life
CORE CONCEPTS How nonequilibrium thermodynamics speaks to the mystery of life CORE CONCEPTS Stephen Ornes, Science Writer In his 1944 book What is Life?, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger argued that organisms stay alive pre- cisely by staving off equilibrium. “How does the living organism avoid decay?” he asks. “The obvious answer is: By eating, drinking, breathing and (in the case of plants) assimilating. The technical term is metabolism” (1). However, the second law of thermodynamics, and the tendency for an isolated system to increase in entropy, or disorder, comes into play. Schrödinger wrote that the very act of living is the perpetual effort to stave off disor- der for as long as we can manage; his examples show how living things do that at the macroscopic level by taking in free energy from the environment. For example, people release heat into their surroundings but avoid running out of energy by consuming food. The ultimate source of “negative entropy” on Earth, wrote Schrödinger, is the Sun. Recent studies suggest something similar is hap- pening at the microscopic level as well, as many cellular processes—ranging from gene transcription to intracellular transport—have underlying nonequi- librium drivers (2, 3). Indeed, physicists have found that nonequilibrium systems surround us. “Most of the world around us is in this situation,” says theoretical physicist Michael Cross at the California Institute of Technology, in Pasa- Attributes of living organisms, such as the flapping hair-like flagella of these single- dena. Cross is among many theorists who spent de- celled green algae known as Chlamydomonas, are providing insights into the cades chasing a general theory of nonequilibrium thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems. -

Bell Rd, Suite 45-332, Phoenix, AZ 85032, USA Email: [email protected] & [email protected] Web: www.halloun.net & www.hinstitute.org We live in a rapidly changing world that requires us to readily and efficiently adapt ourselves to constantly emerging new demands and challenges in various aspects of life, and often bring ourselves up to speed in totally novel directions. This is especially true in the job market. New jobs with totally new requirements keep popping up, and some statistics forecast that, by 2030 or so, about two third of the jobs would be never heard of before. Increasingly many firms suddenly find themselves in need of restructuring or reconsidering their operations or even the very reason for which they existed in the first place, which may lead to the need of their employees to virtually reinvent themselves. Our times require us, at the individual and collective levels, to have a deeply rooted, futuristic mindset. On the one hand, such a mindset would preserve and build upon the qualities of the past, and respects the order of the universe, mother nature, and human beings and societies. On the other hand, it would make us critically and constructively ride the tracks of the digital era, and insightfully take those tracks into humanly and ecologically sound directions. A systemic mindset can best meet these ends. A systemic mindset stems from systemism, the worldview that the universe consists of systems, in its integrity and its parts, from the atomic scale to the astronomical scale, from unicellular organisms to the most complex species, humans included, and from the physical world of perceptible matter to the conceptual realm of our human mind. -

Conservation of Mass Conservation of Mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed, is implicitly satisfied by the definition of a control mass. Conservation of Energy The first law of thermodynamics states “Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only change forms”. energy entering - energy leaving = change of energy within the system Sign Convention Cengel Approach Heat Transfer: heat transfer to a system is positive and heat transfer from a system is negative. Work Transfer: work done by a system is positive and work done on a system is negative. For instance: moving boundary work is defined as: Z 2 Wb = P dV 1 During a compression process, work is done on the system and the change in volume goes negative, i.e. dV < 0. In this case the boundary work will also be negative. 1 Culham Approach Using my sign convention, the boundary work is defined as: Z 2 Wb = − P dV 1 During a compression process, the change in volume is still negative but because of the negative sign on the right side of the boundary work equation, the bound- ary work directed into the system is considered positive. -

International Journal of Modern Theoretical Physics, 2019, 8(1): 17-32 International Journal of Modern Theoretical Physics ISSN: 2169-7426 Journal homepage:www.ModernScientificPress.com/Journals/ijmtp.aspx Florida, USA Article Self-Organization, Critical Phenomena, Entropy Decrease in Isolated Systems and Its Tests Yi-Fang Chang Department of Physics, Yunnan University, Kunming, 650091, China Email: [email protected] Article history: Received 15 January 2019, Revised 1 May 2019, Accepted 1 May 2019, Published 6 May 2019. Abstract: We proposed possible entropy decrease due to fluctuation magnification and internal interactions in isolated systems, and these systems are only approximation. This possibility exists in transformations of internal energy, complex systems, and some new systems with lower entropy, nonlinear interactions, etc. Self-organization and self- assembly must be entropy decrease. Generally, much structures of Nature all are various self-assembly and self-organizations. We research some possible tests and predictions on entropy decrease in isolated systems. They include various self-organizations and self- assembly, some critical phenomena, physical surfaces and films, chemical reactions and catalysts, various biological membranes and enzymes, and new synthetic life, etc. They exist possibly in some microscopic regions, nonlinear phenomena, many evolutional processes and complex systems, etc. As long as we break through the bondage of the second law of thermodynamics, the rich and complex world is full of examples of entropy decrease.
