Thermodynamics IV Thermodynamics IV I. Work Remember earlier that we said the work done by a force F upon an object as the object was displaced over some path was equal to the area under the Force-Position graph. Positive work in going from point A to point B where force is in the same direction as the displacement and negative work when going from point B to point A. Let us now consider the work done by a gas of pressure P upon a piston of cross sectional area A as the piston is displace a distance x as shown below: The force is found from the pressure by: The amount of work for a small displacement is therefore given by Thus, the area under a pressure-volume graph gives us the work done by the gas upon the piston. These pressure-volume graphs are called P-V diagrams. II. First Law of Thermodynamics The change in the internal energy of a system is equal to heat transferred to the system minus the work done by the system. The first law of thermodynamics is simply a statement of the law of the conservation of energy. III. Thermodynamics Processes 1. Isobaric Process – A process performed under constant pressure. Work = 2. Isovolumetric Process – A process performed under constant volume Work = 3. Isothermal Process – A process where the system’s temperature (internal energy) is constant. 4. Adiabatic Process – A process in which no thermal energy (Q) is transferred. 5. Cyclic Process – A process or combination of processes that returns the system to its initial state. Work is the area bounded by the curve on the P-V diagram. IV. Heat Engine An engine is a cyclic device which transfers energy as work. An important type of engine is the heat engine which absorbs thermal energy from the environment (outside the engine) and converts a portion of that energy to work. Consider the heat engine below consisting of two isothermal processes and two isovolumetric processes: During the first isothermal process (State A to State B), the engine takes in heat at a higher temperature and converts it to work. During the second isothermal process (State C to State D), the engine does negative work that is released as heat at a lower temperature. During the two isovolumetric processes, heat is absorbed to increase the internal energy of the system (raise the temperature) or released to decrease the internal energy of the system (lower the temperature). These two processes are done across the same temperature difference and cancel each other. The bounded area gives the net heat that was converted to work. Efficiency - The efficiency of an engine is the ratio of the work obtained to the thermal energy absorbed by the engine. Efficiency = V. Entropy Entropy is a state variable that measure the number of ways that a microscopic system can be arranged. For instance, if you drop three identical coins there are only a few ways (arrangements) that they can fall in a stack while many ways they can fall into a disorganized pattern. Because each arrangement is equally probable, nature will select the state with the greatest number of arrangements (i.e. the coils will land in a random pattern). This why gas molecules spread out rather than all going to one corner of the room. A change in entropy occurs whenever heat is added to a system. VI. Second Law of Thermodynamics The change in the total entropy of a system and its environment will change is such a way that it is greater or equal to zero. The most efficient heat engine is an engine with no change in entropy of the system. Using our relationship between entropy and heat, we get the following relationship for this engine: .

  • 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.

When the cylinder is placed in a container of hot water, heat Equilibrium: is transferred into the cylinder. Where does the heat energy go? 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). The rest of it does work by raising the piston. ΔEQWint =− Conservation of energy leads to: QEW=Δ + int (the first law of thermodynamics) This form of the First Law says that the change in internal energy of a system is Q is the heat added to a system (or removed if it is negative) equal to the heat supplied to the system Eint is the internal energy of the system (the energy minus the work done by the system (usually associated with the motion of the atoms and/or molecules).

  • 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.

    INDUSTRIAL PROCESS INDUSTRIAL PROCESS SESSION 3 HEAT PROCESS sasanana1 [Pick the date] Session 3 Heat process Flash smelting Flash smelting (Finnish: Liekkisulatus) is a smelting process for sulfur-containing ores[1] including chalcopyrite. The process was developed by Outokumpu in Finland and first applied at the Harjavalta plant in 1949 for smelting copper ore.[2][3] It has also been adapted for nickel and lead production.[2] A second flash smelting system was developed by the International Nickel Company ('INCO') and has a different concentrate feed design compared to the Outokumpu flash furnace.[4] The Inco flash furnace has end-wall concentrate injection burners and a central waste gas off-take,[4] while the Outokumpu flash furnace has a water-cooled reaction shaft at one end of the vessel and a waste gas off-take at the other end.[5] While the INCO flash furnace at Sudbury was the first commercial use of oxygen flash smelting,[6] fewer smelters use the INCO flash furnace than the Outokumpu flash furnace.[4] Flash smelting with oxygen-enriched air (the 'reaction gas') makes use of the energy contained in the concentrate to supply most of the energy required by the furnaces.[4][5] The concentrate must be dried before it is injected into the furnaces and, in the case of the Outokumpu process, some of the furnaces use an optional heater to warm the reaction gas typically to 100–450 °C.[5] The reactions in the flash smelting furnaces produce copper matte, iron oxides and sulfur dioxide. The reacted particles fall into a bath at the bottom of the furnace, where the iron oxides react with fluxes, such as silica and limestone, to form a slag.[7] In most cases, the slag can be discarded, perhaps after some cleaning, and the matte is further treated in converters to produce blister copper.

  • The First Law of Thermodynamics: Closed Systems Heat Transfer
    The First Law of Thermodynamics: Closed Systems The first law of thermodynamics can be simply stated as follows: during an interaction between a system and its surroundings, the amount of energy gained by the system must be exactly equal to the amount of energy lost by the surroundings. A closed system can exchange energy with its surroundings through heat and work transfer. In other words, work and heat are the forms that energy can be transferred across the system boundary. Based on kinetic theory, heat is defined as the energy associated with the random motions of atoms and molecules. Heat Transfer Heat is defined as the form of energy that is transferred between two systems by virtue of a temperature difference. Note: there cannot be any heat transfer between two systems that are at the same temperature. Note: It is the thermal (internal) energy that can be stored in a system. Heat is a form of energy in transition and as a result can only be identified at the system boundary. Heat has energy units kJ (or BTU). Rate of heat transfer is the amount of heat transferred per unit time. Heat is a directional (or vector) quantity; thus, it has magnitude, direction and point of action. Notation: – Q (kJ) amount of heat transfer – Q° (kW) rate of heat transfer (power) – q (kJ/kg) ‐ heat transfer per unit mass – q° (kW/kg) ‐ power per unit mass Sign convention: Heat Transfer to a system is positive, and heat transfer from a system is negative. It means any heat transfer that increases the energy of a system is positive, and heat transfer that decreases the energy of a system is negative.

Naturforsch. 55 a, 851-855 (2000); received June 29, 2000 The thermodynamic functions for the van der Waals equation are investigated at isobaric process. The Gibbs free energy is expressed as the sum of the Helmholtz free energy and PV, and the volume in this case is described as the implicit function of the cubic equation for V in the van der Waals equation. Furthermore, the Gibbs free energy is given as a function of the reduced temperature, pressure and volume, introducing a reduced equation of state. Volume, enthalpy, entropy, heat capacity, thermal expansivity, and isothermal compressibility are given as functions of the reduced temperature, pressure and volume, respectively. Some thermodynamic quantities are calculated numerically and drawn graphically. The heat capacity, thermal expansivity, and isothermal compressibility diverge to infinity at the critical point. This suggests that a second-order phase transition may occur at the critical point. Key words: Van der Waals Gases; Isobaric Process; Second-order Phase Transition. 1.
