Introduction Areas of Application of Thermodynamics Different Approaches in the study of Thermodynamics SI Units
Introduction
The most of general sense of thermodynamics is the study of energy and its relationship to the properties of matter. All activities in nature involve some interaction between energy and matter. Thermodynamics is a science that governs the following: Energy and its transformation easibility of a process involving transformation of energy easibility of a process involving transfer of energy E!uilibrium processes
"ore specifically# thermodynamics deals with energy conversion# energy e$change and the direction of e$change.
The principles of thermodynamics are summari,ed in the form of a set of a$ioms. These a$ioms are -nown as four thermodynamic laws:
The ,eroth law# the first law# the second law and the third law.
The .eroth )aw deals with thermal e!uilibrium and provides a means for measuring temperatures. The irst )aw deals with the conservation of energy and introduces the concept of internal energy. The Second )aw of thermodynamics provides with the guidelines on the conversion of internal energy of
matter into wor-. It also introduces the concept of entropy.
The Third )aw of thermodynamics defines the absolute ,ero of entropy. The entropy of a pure crystalline
substance at absolute ,ero temperature is ,ero.
"acroscopic Approach &onsider a certain amount of gas in a cylindrical container. The volume /10 can be measured by measuring the diameter and the height of the cylinder. The pressure /'0 of the gas can be measured by a pressure gauge. The temperature /T0 of the gas can be measured using a thermometer. The state of the gas can be specified by the measured '# 1 and T . The values of these variables are space averaged characteristics of the properties of the gas under consideration. In classical thermodynamics# we often use this macroscopic approach. The macroscopic approach has the following features. The structure of the matter is not considered. A few variables are used to describe the state of the matter under consideration. The values of these variables are measurable following the available techni!ues of e$perimental physics.
"icroscopic Approach 2n the other hand# the gas can be considered as assemblage of a large number of particles each of which moves randomly with independent velocity. The state of each particle can be specified in terms of position coordinates / xi # yi # zi 0 and the momentum components / pxi # pyi # pzi 0. If we consider a gas occupying a volume of 3 cm4 at ambient temperature and pressure# the number of particles present in it is of the order of 3565 . The same number of position coordinates and momentum components are needed to specify the state of the gas. The microscopic approach can be summari,ed as: A -nowledge of the molecular structure of matter under consideration is essential. A large number of variables are needed for a complete specification of the state of the matter.

System
A thermodynamic system is defined as a definite !uantity of matter or a region in space upon which attention is focussed in the analysis of a problem. Ae may want to study a !uantity of matter contained with in a closed rigid walled chambers# or we may want to consider something such as gas pipeline through which the matter flows. The composition of the matter inside the system may be fi$ed or may change through chemical and nuclear reactions. A system may be arbitrarily defined. It becomes important when e$change of energy between the system and the everything else outside the system is considered. The Gudgement on the energetics of this e$change is very important.
Surroundings
Everything e$ternal to the system is surroundings. The system is distinguished from its surroundings by a specified boundary which may be at rest or in motion. The interactions between a system and its surroundings# which ta-e place across the boundary# play an important role in thermodynamics. A system and its surroundings together comprise a universe.
Types of systems
Two types of systems can be distinguished. These are referred to# respectively# as closed systems and open systems or control volumes. A closed system or a control mass refers to a fi$ed !uantity of matter# whereas a control volume is a region in space through which mass may flow. A special type of closed system that does not interact with its surroundings is called an Isolated system . Two types of e$change can occur between the system and its surroundings: 3.energy e$change /heat or wor-0 and 6.e$change of matter /movement of molecules across the boundary of the system and surroundings0. @ased on the types of e$change# one can define
isolated systems: no e$change of matter and energy closed systems: no e$change of matter but some e$change of energy open systems: e$change of both matter and energy
If the boundary does not allow heat /energy0 e$change to ta-e place it is called adiabatic boundary otherwise it is diathermal boundary.
Property
To describe a system and predict its behaviour re!uires a -nowledge of its properties and how those properties are related. 'roperties are macroscopic characteristics of a system such as mass# volume# energy# pressure and temperature to which numerical values can be assigned at a given time without -nowledge of the past history of the system. "any other properties are considered during the course of our study. The value of a property of a system is independent of the process or the path followed by the system in reaching a particular state.
The change in the value of the property depends only on the initial and the final states. The word state refers to the condition of a system as described by its properties. "athematically# if ' is a property of the system# then the change in the property in going from the initial state 3 to the final state 6 is given by

Energy
Energy is often defined as the capacity to produce wor-. %owever# this JcapacityJ has a special significance. The capacity represents a combination of an effort and the change brought about by the effort. %owever# the effort is e$erted in overcoming resistance to a particular type of change. The effort involved is measured !uantitatively as a Jdriving forceJ in thermodynamics. A driving force is a property which causes and also controls the direction of change in another property. The !uantitative value of this change is called a JdisplacementJ. The product of a driving force and its associated displacement represents a !uantity of energy# but in thermodynamics this !uantity has meaning only in relation to a specifically defined system. *elative to a particular system there are generally two ways of locating a driving force and the displacement it produces. In one way# the driving force and the displacement are properties of the system and are located entirely within it. The energy calculated from their product represents a change in the internal energy of the system. Similarly# both the driving force and its displacement could be located entirely within the surroundings so that the calculated energy is then a change in the total energy of the surroundings. In another way# the displacement occurs within the system but the driving force is a property of the surroundings and is applied e$ternally at the system boundary. @y definition# the boundary of a system is a region of ,ero thic-ness containing no matter at all so that the energy calculated in this way is not a property of matter either in the system or in its surroundings but represents a !uantity of energy in transition between the two. In any !uantitative application of thermodynamics it is always important to ma-e a careful distinction between energy changes within a system or within its surroundings and energy in transition between them.
The wor- done on a body in accelerating it from its initial velocity to a final velocity # is e!ual to the change in the -inetic energy of the body. If the body is decelerated from a velocity to a velocity by the application of resisting force# the wor- done by the body is e!ual to decrease in its -inetic energy.

Thermodynamic E&uili'rium
Steady state Under the steady state condition# the properties of the system at any location are independent of time.
E!uilibrium At the state of e!uilibrium# the properties of the system are uniform and only one value can be assigned to it.
In thermodynamics# e!uilibrium refers to a state of e!uilibrium with respect to all possible changes# thermal# mechanical and chemical.
a Thermal e!uilibrium
A state of thermal e!uilibrium can be described as one in which the temperature of the system is uniform.
b "echanical e!uilibrium
"echanical e!uilibrium means there is no unbalanced force. In other words# there is no pressure gradient within the system.
c &hemical e!uilibrium
The criterian for chemical e!uilibrium is the e!uality of chemical potential
where ni is the number of moles of substance i . The composition of a system does not undergo any change because of chemical reaction
Process
In thermodynamics we are mainly concerned with the systems which are in a state of e!uilibrium. Ahenever a system undergoes a change in its condition# from one e!uilibrium state to another e!uilibrium state# the system is said to undergo a process. &onsider a certain amount of gas enclosed in a piston+cylinder assembly as our system. Suppose the piston moves under such a condition that the opposing force is always infinitesimally smaller than the force e$erted by the gas. The process followed by the system is reversible .
A process is said to be reversible if the system and its surroundings are restored to their respective initial states by reversing the direction of the process. A reversible process has to be !uasi+static# but a !uasi + static process is not necessarily !uasi+static.
igure %"!
The process is irreversible if it does not fulfil the criterion of reversibility. "any processes are characteri,ed by the fact that some property of the system remains constant. These processes are:
Adiabatic process
(or)
Aor- is one of the basic modes of energy transfer. The wor- done by a system is a path function# and not a point function. Therefore# wor- is not a property of the system# and it cannot be said that the woris possessed by the system. It is an interaction across the boundary. Ahat is stored in the system is energy# but not wor-. A decrease in energy of the system appears as wor- done. Therefore# wor- is energy in transit and it can be indentified only when the system undergoes a process.
Aor- must be regarded only as a type of energy in transition across a well defined# ,ero thic-ness# boundary of a system. &onse!uently wor-# is never a property or any !uantity contained within a system. Aor- is energy driven across by differences in the driving forces on either side of it. 1arious -inds of wor- are identified by the -ind of driving force involved and the characteristic e$tensive property change which accompanied it. Aor- is measured !uantitatively in the following way. Any driving force other than temperature# located outside the system on its e$ternal boundary# is multiplied by a transported e$tensive property change within the system which was transferred across the system boundary in response to this force. The result is the numerical value of the wor- associated with this system and driving force. In static E!uilibrium# D'A / ig P.30. The dQ is small so that ' does not change.

The hot body becomes cold and the cold body becomes hot. After sometime# the states of the two systems do not undergo any further change and they assume fi$ed values of all thermodynamic properties. These two systems are then said to be in a state of thermal e!uilibrium with each other. The two bodies which are in thermal e!uilibrium with each other have a common characteristic called temperature. Therefore temperature is a property which has the same value for all the bodies in thermal e!uilibrium. Suppose we have three systems 3# 6 and 4 placed in an adiabatic enclosure as shown in figure ;.4.

The systems 3 and 6 do not interact with each other but they interact separately with systems 4 through a diathermal wall. Then system 3 is in thermal e!uilibrium with system 4 and system 6 is also in thermal e!uilibrium with system 4. @y intuition we can say that though system 3 and 6 are not interacting# they are in thermal e!uilibrium with each other. Suppose system 3 and 6 are brought into contact with each other by replacing the adiabatic wall by a diathermal wall as shown in figure ;.4 /@0. urther they are isolated from system 4 by an adiabatic wall. Then one observes no change in the state of the systems 3 and 6.
Temperature Scale
@ased on ,eroth law of thermodynamics# the temperature of a group of bodies can be compared by bringing a particular body /a thermometer0 into contact with each of them in turn. To !uantify the measurement# the instrument should have thermometric properties. These properties include: The length of a mercury column in a capillary tube# the resistance /electrical0 of a wire# the pressure of a gas in a closed vessel# the emf generated at the Gunction of two dissimilar metal wires etc. are commonly used thermometric properties. To assign numerical values to the thermal state of a system# it is necessary to establish a temperature scale on which temperature of a system can be read. Therefore# the temperature scale is read by assigning numerical values to certain easily reproducible states. or this purpose# it is customary to use
a Ice 'oint: The e!uilibrium temperature of ice with air saturated water at standard
atmospheric pressure which is assigned a value of 5o&.
b Steam 'oint: The e!uilibrium temperature of pure water with its own vapor at standard
atmospheric pressure# which is assigned a value of 355o&. This scale is called the &elsius Scale named after Anders &elsius.
gas at constant volume increases monotonically with pressure. If the gas pressure is made to approach ,ero# the gas behavior follows the relation ' D*T
igure ;.P shows a constant volume gas thermometer. The bulb is placed in the system whose temperature is to be measured.

Substances can be found in different states of aggregation. Ice# water and steam are the three different physical states of the same species . @ased on the physical states of aggregation the

To !uantify deviation of real behavior from the ideal gas behavior# we introduce a new term namely# the compressibility factor. The compressibility factor Z is defined as the ratio of the actual volume to the volume predicted by the ideal gas law at a given temperature and pressure.

It would be very convenient if one chart could be used for all substances. The general shapes of the vapour dome and of the constant temperature lines on the plane are similar.
This similarity can be e$ploited by using dimensionless properties called reduced properties. The reduced pressure is the ratio of the e$isting pressure to the critical pressure of the substance and the same is followed for the reduced temperature and reduced volume. Then /35.33 0

There are certain situations when two phases of a pure substance coe$ist in e!uilibrium. As a commonly used substance water may be ta-en up to demonstrate the basic principles involved. %owever# all pure substances e$hibit the same general behaviour.
Ae shall remember the following definitions: Saturated State: A state at which a phase change begins or ends Saturation Temperature: Temperature at which phase change /li!uid+vapour0 begins or ends at a given pressure
Saturation 'ressure: It is the pressure at which phase change begins or ends at a specified temperature.

Applications of Throttling
/a0 *efrigeration The wor-ing fluid /called refrigerant0 leaving the evaporator as vapour at state 3 undergoes an adiabatic compression in a compressor and leaves as saturated vapour at state 6. This compressed refrigerant enters a condenser where it reGects heat to the ambient atmosphere and leaves as a saturated li!uid at high pressure at state 4. Then the li!uid refrigerant at high pressure undergoes throttling and leaves as a mi$ture of li!uid and vapour at low pressure at state P. During throttling# the li!uid vapori,es partially and its temperature decreases. The cooled refrigerant then passes through an evaporator where it absorbs energy from the body to be cooled# and leaves as hot vapor at state 3. inally# the hot refrigerant vapour goes to the compressor# thus completing a cycle.

The gas is compressed to a high pressure and then cooled at constant pressure in a counter current heat e$changer with the cold gas which comes from the separator. The cooled gas is throttled to a low pressure. Thus some amount of gas is converted into the li!uid phase. The two+phase mi$ture comes to the separator. The li!uid is withdrawn and the cold gas is fed to the heat e$changer. Then the gas enters the compressor along with a fresh stream of ma-e up gas for li!uefaction.
