Definition of Temperature Definition of Temperature Ron Reifenberger Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University January 9, 2013 1 Lecture 1 A Brief History • Prior to 18th Century, society supports advances in medicine (health) and astronomy (navigation; time keeping) • Other realms of science were viewed as a purely philosophic endeavor – not much in the way of experiments • mid 18th Century (1750’s); transition from rural to urban society – start of Industrial Revolution; “How is heat converted to work in a steam engine?” • 19th Century (1800-1850) scientists were encouraged to study engines and their efficiency; is a perpetual motion machine possible? • Two “Laws of Thermodynamics” emerge 2 TIMELINES Year Electricity and Magnetism 1st Law Thermodynamics 2nd Law Thermodynamics Francis Hauksbee - first electrostatic 1706 generator Charles de Cisternay Dufay - electrified 1733 objects repel as well as attract Bernoulli uses idea of “atomic” 1738 motion to calculate pressure Bishop Von Kleist & Cunaeus of Leyden - 1745 Leyden jar (first capacitor) Ben Franklin - simple theory of 1746 electricity; two polarities of charge J.

Thompson) 1790 questions caloric theory while boring out canons in Bavaria Boulton and Watt - commercial steam 1794 engines; first attempts to define w ork, power, horsepower, etc. Count Rumford – established connection 1798 between mechanical work and heat 1800 Alexandre Volta – first electric battery 3 Hans Christian Oersted – magnetic field 1819 from current Andre Marie Ampere – first theory of the Herapath links heat w ith “atomic” 1820 magnetic field motion 1821 Michael Faraday – primitive electric motor Carnot formulates 2nd Law; supports 1824 calorique theory 1827 Georg Ohm – Ohm’s Law 1830 William Sturgeon – first electromagnet Michael Faraday – electromagnetic 1831 induction 1833 Joesph Henry – self inductance 1834 Heinrich Lenz – Lenz’s Law 1837 Samuel Morse – first telegraph James Prescott Joule – heat produced by J.R. von Mayer – (heat + work) is 1842 electric current conserved; initial formulation of 1st Law 1843-49 Joule’ s quantitative experiments Waterston first suggests that energy 1845 of gas “molecules” is proportional to temperature Gustav Kirchoff – Kirchoff’s laws of 1846 electric circuits Helmholtz: conservation of energy, 1st 1847 Law of Thermodynamics 1850s – J.P. Joule – quantified heat & work in many ways – mechanical, 1850s electrical, etc.; Calorique theory of heat finally overturned 4 Clausius introduces concept of mean 1858 free path Maxwell introduces idea of a 1859 distribution function Clausius introduces concept of 1865 James Clerk Maxwell – unified theory of thermodynamic entropy; Loschmidt electricity and magnetism estimates the size of an atom Boltzmann extends Maxwell’s mathematical derivation of 1868 distribution function w ith considerable physical insight Boltzmann’s transport equation proves that the MB distribution function is 1872 the ONLY one possible for a gas in thermal equilibrium Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism by James 1873 Clerk Maxwell Henry Row land – rotating static charge 1875 creates magnetic field 1876 Alexander Graham Bell – telephone 1877 Boltzmann: S=kBln(w) 1879 Thomas Edison – electric lamp Stefan-Boltzmann T4 law – connects 1884 thermodynamics w ith E&M William Stanley – electric transformer 1886 and transmission of ac voltages Heinrich Hertz – generation and Clausius, Maxwell, Boltzmann – kinetic 1887 detection of electromagnetic w aves theory of a gas (late 1800s) Oliver Heaviside – reworks Maxwell’s 1887 theory – FOUR Maxwell equations Nikola Tesla – alternating current; long- 1888 distance electrical transmission Gibbs publishes Elementary Principles 1902 in Statistical Mechanics 5 Why did it take ~100 years to sort all this out? A confusion between Temperature and Heat. We all have a qualitative feel for what “heat”, “hot”, “cold”, etc. means, but how do we turn these qualitative feelings into quantitative concepts? The answer to this question relies on an understanding how microscopic properties (atoms) translate into macroscopic measurable quantities. The Science of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics fundamentally was developed to understand the relationship between heat and work 6 While developing the Science of Thermodynamics, many Fundamental Conceptual problems arise I. Is Heat Conserved? II. Is Cold the Opposite of Hot? III. How to Quantify Temperature? ……. Without a Science of Thermodynamics, many of these basic concepts are not well-defined 7 Example I: Water Wheel vs. Steam Engine Steam in Steam in Work is produced Water in = Water out + Work Water is conserved. Heat in ?=? Heat out + Work Is Heat conserved? 8 Example II: Is “Hot” the opposite of “Cold”? • Most people would claim that “Hot” and “Cold” are opposites. • To make something hot, we add heat (measured in thermal units) because heat is energy. • You can always provide “more heat” by adding more energy, so you can always make an object “hotter”. • Therefore, by subtracting energy, you must have “less heat”; it follows that an object will get colder. • But….., experiment shows you can only cool to -273.15oC, you can't get any colder. • Since you can’t go any colder, you cannot continue to subtract more heat (or add “more cold”)? • How then can “cold” be the opposite of “hot”? • “Cold” is only a word used to describe the “absence of heat”. 9 Example III: Temperature – a way to quantify the “hotness” or “coldness” of an object Which object is colder? Styrofoam cup Piece of metal You can’t even trust your sense of touch! 10 Thermodynamic Laws The Big Picture Four Laws of Thermodynamics 0th Law: Definition of thermal equilibrium 1st Law: U = Q - W – quantity of energy; in a closed system energy can be exchanged but it can not be created or destroyed 2nd Law: Definition of Entropy – quality of energy: when transforming “organized, useful” energy, some of it always deteriorates into “disorganized, non-useable” energy 3rd Law: The entropy of a system at zero absolute temperature is a well-defined constant because a system at zero temperature exists in its lowest energy (ground) state. Its entropy is determined only by the degeneracy of the ground state. (Nernst 1906-1912). 11 To sort through these issues it is useful to list some of the attributes of temperature • It’s a property usually associated with a system • It’s a strange quantity – what are its origins? • Not derived from Newton’s Laws of Motion! • Distinguish between scientific (T=23.5oC) and colloquial (hot, cold, lukewarm, etc.) use • Tightly coupled to local properties of well defined systems; e.g. “What’s the temperature of the earth?” is not a meaningful question • Associated with equilibrium: constant T • How do you measure temperature? 12 Highly accurate measures of temperature are hard to find! • based on easily measured property of a common substance • easy to calibrate • the physical property chosen to measure temperature should monotonically increase in value as T increases • physical property must be measurable over a wide range of temperatures • readily reproduced in other laboratories 13 Thermoscopes A simple constant-volume gas thermoscope calibrated masses, m calibration mark moveable piston, area A Force mg Pressure == gas PistonArea A units :[N / m2 ] = Pascal(Pa) 5 substance whose 1atm=1.01×10 Pa temperature you want to measure T=C1 P + C2 14 Implementation of a Constant Volume Gas Thermoscope Patm Experiment showed this was a particularly reliable thermometer m ρ h mg P Patm A hA g Patm A P hg T atm T=C1 P + C2 1 atm = 760 mm of Hg = 760 Torr Thermometers have scales printed one click on them; thermoscopes do not. 15 Can add Patm =Const.

  • GEORG OHM - Ω Physicist and Mathematician
    GEORG OHM - Ω Physicist and Mathematician The start Georg Simon Ohm was born on 16th of March 1789 in Erlangen in Germany and died on 6th of July 1854 in Munich, Germany. He was born into a Protestant family and was the son of Johann Wolfgang Ohm and Maria Elizabeth Beck. The family had seven children, but only three survived: Georg, his younger brother Martin and his sister Elizabeth Barbara. His mother died when Georg was only 10 years old. Education Georg and Martin were taught by their father who brought them to a high standard in mathematics, physics, chemistry and philosophy. Georg Simon attended Erlangen Gymnasium from age eleven to fifteen where he hardly received any scientific education. After the Gymnasium, he was sent to Switzerland as his father was concerned that his son was wasting his educational opportunity. In September 1806 Ohm accepted a position as a mathematics teacher in a school in Gottstadt. Ohm restarted his mathematical studies, left his teaching post in March 1809 and became a private tutor in Neuchâtel. For two years he carried out his duties as a tutor while he followed private studies of mathematics. Then in April 1811 he returned to the University of Erlangen. Teaching Ohm received his doctorate from the University of Erlangen on October 25, 1811. He immediately joined the faculty there as a lecturer in mathematics but left after three semesters because of unpromising prospects. He could not survive on his salary as a lecturer. He had a few more teaching jobs after that and unhappy with his job, Georg began writing an elementary textbook on geometry as a way to prove his abilities.

  • 3.Joule's Experiments
    The Force of Gravity Creates Energy: The “Work” of James Prescott Joule http://www.bookrags.com/biography/james-prescott-joule-wsd/ James Prescott Joule (1818-1889) was the son of a successful British brewer. He tinkered with the tools of his father’s trade (particularly thermometers), and despite never earning an undergraduate degree, he was able to answer two rather simple questions: 1. Why is the temperature of the water at the bottom of a waterfall higher than the temperature at the top? 2. Why does an electrical current flowing through a conductor raise the temperature of water? In order to adequately investigate these questions on our own, we need to first define “temperature” and “energy.” Second, we should determine how the measurement of temperature can relate to “heat” (as energy). Third, we need to find relationships that might exist between temperature and “mechanical” energy and also between temperature and “electrical” energy. Definitions: Before continuing, please write down what you know about temperature and energy below. If you require more space, use the back. Temperature: Energy: We have used the concept of gravity to show how acceleration of freely falling objects is related mathematically to distance, time, and speed. We have also used the relationship between net force applied through a distance to define “work” in the Harvard Step Test. Now, through the work of Joule, we can equate the concepts of “work” and “energy”: Energy is the capacity of a physical system to do work. Potential energy is “stored” energy, kinetic energy is “moving” energy. One type of potential energy is that induced by the gravitational force between two objects held at a distance (there are other types of potential energy, including electrical, magnetic, chemical, nuclear, etc).

  • Units in Electromagnetism (PDF)
    Units in electromagnetism Almost all textbooks on electricity and magnetism (including Griffiths’s book) use the same set of units | the so-called rationalized or Giorgi units. These have the advantage of common use. On the other hand there are all sorts of \0"s and \µ0"s to memorize. Could anyone think of a system that doesn't have all this junk to memorize? Yes, Carl Friedrich Gauss could. This problem describes the Gaussian system of units. [In working this problem, keep in mind the distinction between \dimensions" (like length, time, and charge) and \units" (like meters, seconds, and coulombs).] a. In the Gaussian system, the measure of charge is q q~ = p : 4π0 Write down Coulomb's law in the Gaussian system. Show that in this system, the dimensions ofq ~ are [length]3=2[mass]1=2[time]−1: There is no need, in this system, for a unit of charge like the coulomb, which is independent of the units of mass, length, and time. b. The electric field in the Gaussian system is given by F~ E~~ = : q~ How is this measure of electric field (E~~) related to the standard (Giorgi) field (E~ )? What are the dimensions of E~~? c. The magnetic field in the Gaussian system is given by r4π B~~ = B~ : µ0 What are the dimensions of B~~ and how do they compare to the dimensions of E~~? d. In the Giorgi system, the Lorentz force law is F~ = q(E~ + ~v × B~ ): p What is the Lorentz force law expressed in the Gaussian system? Recall that c = 1= 0µ0.

  • On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch
    Andre Koch Torres Assis On the First Electromagnetic Measurement of the Velocity of Light by Wilhelm Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch Abstract The electrostatic, electrodynamic and electromagnetic systems of units utilized during last century by Ampère, Gauss, Weber, Maxwell and all the others are analyzed. It is shown how the constant c was introduced in physics by Weber's force of 1846. It is shown that it has the unit of velocity and is the ratio of the electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge. Weber and Kohlrausch's experiment of 1855 to determine c is quoted, emphasizing that they were the first to measure this quantity and obtained the same value as that of light velocity in vacuum. It is shown how Kirchhoff in 1857 and Weber (1857-64) independently of one another obtained the fact that an electromagnetic signal propagates at light velocity along a thin wire of negligible resistivity. They obtained the telegraphy equation utilizing Weber’s action at a distance force. This was accomplished before the development of Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory of light and before Heaviside’s work. 1. Introduction In this work the introduction of the constant c in electromagnetism by Wilhelm Weber in 1846 is analyzed. It is the ratio of electromagnetic and electrostatic units of charge, one of the most fundamental constants of nature. The meaning of this constant is discussed, the first measurement performed by Weber and Kohlrausch in 1855, and the derivation of the telegraphy equation by Kirchhoff and Weber in 1857. Initially the basic systems of units utilized during last century for describing electromagnetic quantities is presented, along with a short review of Weber’s electrodynamics.

Nahin’s [1] fascinating biog- raphy of the Victorian physicist and electrician Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925). Heaviside’s scientific life unrolls against a background of theoretical and technical challenges that the scientific and technological developments fostered by the Industrial Revolution presented to engineers and physicists of those times. It is a time where electromagnetic theory as formulated by James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was un- derstood by only a small group of men, Lodge, FitzGerald and Heaviside, among others, that had the mathematical sophistication and imagination to grasp the meaning and take part in the great Maxwellian synthesis. Almost all of the electrical engineers, or electricians as they were called at the time, considered themselves as “practical men”, which effectively meant that most of them had a working knowledge of the electromagnetic phenomena spiced up with bits of electrical theory, to wit, Ohm’s law and the Joule effect.
