Useful work is extracted during an isobaric expansion process, i.e., without a polytropic gas/vapour expansion accompanied by a pressure decrease typical of state-of-the-art piston engines, turbines, etc. This distinctive feature permits isobaric expansion machines to serve as very simple and inexpensive heat-driven pumps and compressors as well as heat-to-shaft-power converters with desired speed/torque. Commercial application of such machines, however, is scarce, mainly due to a low efficiency. This article aims to revive the long-known concept by proposing important modifications to make IE machines competitive and cost-effective alternatives to state-of-the-art heat conversion technologies. Experimental and theoretical results supporting the isobaric expansion technology are presented and promising potential applications, including emerging power generation methods, are discussed.

  • Section 15-6: Thermodynamic Cycles
    Answer to Essential Question 15.5: The ideal gas law tells us that temperature is proportional to PV. for state 2 in both processes we are considering, so the temperature in state 2 is the same in both cases. , and all three factors on the right-hand side are the same for the two processes, so the change in internal energy is the same (+360 J, in fact). Because the gas does no work in the isochoric process, and a positive amount of work in the isobaric process, the First Law tells us that more heat is required for the isobaric process (+600 J versus +360 J). 15-6 Thermodynamic Cycles Many devices, such as car engines and refrigerators, involve taking a thermodynamic system through a series of processes before returning the system to its initial state. Such a cycle allows the system to do work (e.g., to move a car) or to have work done on it so the system can do something useful (e.g., removing heat from a fridge). Let’s investigate this idea. EXPLORATION 15.6 – Investigate a thermodynamic cycle One cycle of a monatomic ideal gas system is represented by the series of four processes in Figure 15.15.

A thermodynamic system is the quantity of matter under study which is in general macroscopic in nature. Examples: Gas, vapour, vapour in contact with liquid etc.. Thermodynamic stateor condition of a system is one which is described by the macroscopic physical quantities like pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T) and entropy (S). The physical quantities like P, V, T and S are called thermodynamic variables. Any two of these variables are independent variables and the rest are dependent variables. A general relation between the thermodynamic variables is called equation of state. The relation between the variables that describe a thermodynamic system are given by first and second law of thermodynamics. According to first law of thermodynamics, when a substance absorbs an amount of heat dQ at constant pressure P, its internal energy increases by dU and the substance does work dW by increase in its volume by dV. Mathematically it is represented by 풅푸 = 풅푼 + 풅푾 = 풅푼 + 푷 풅푽….(1) If a substance absorbs an amount of heat dQ at a temperature T and if all changes that take place are perfectly reversible, then the change in entropy from the second 풅푸 law of thermodynamics is 풅푺 = or 풅푸 = 푻 풅푺….(2) 푻 From equations (1) and (2), 푻 풅푺 = 풅푼 + 푷 풅푽 This is the basic equation that connects the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

    Produced with a Trial Version of PDF Annotator - www.PDFAnnotator.com THERMODYNAMICS Entropy: Entropy is defined as a quantitative measure of disorder or randomness in a system. The heat change, dq and the temperature T are thermodynamic quantities. A thermodynamic function whose change (dq/T) is independent of the path of the system is called entropy 푑푆 = 푑푞 푇 1. Entropy is a state function whose magnitude depends only on the parameters of the system and can be expressed in terms of (P,V,T) 2. dS is a perfect differential.

  • 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.

Work and Heat in Thermodynamic Processes State of a system . Description of the system in terms of state variables ►Pressure ►Volume ►Temperature ►Internal Energy . A macroscopic state of an isolated system can be specified only if the system is in internal thermal equilibrium Work ► Work is an important energy transfer mechanism in thermodynamic systems ► Heat is another energy transfer mechanism ► Example: gas cylinder with piston . The gas is contained in a cylinder with a moveable piston . The gas occupies a volume V and exerts pressure P on the walls of the cylinder and on the piston Work done by a gas ► Consider a gas contained in a cylinder fitted with a movable piston. ► At equilibrium, the gas occupies a volume V and exerts a uniform pressure P on the cylinder’s walls and on the piston. If the piston has a cross-sectional area A, force exerted by the gas on the piston is : F PA ► When the gas expands quasi-statically
