Part I
THERMODYNAMICS
is the science of energy!

Thermodynamics is the study of the
transformation of heat, mechanical work
and other forms of energy and how these
transformations relate to properties of
matter.

A system is defined as a quantity of
matter or a region in space to be studied.
The mass or region outside of the system
is called the surroundings.
The real or imaginary surface that
separates the system from its
surroundings is called the boundary.
A closed system is composed of a fixed
amount of mass and no mass can cross
its boundary.
If both mass and energy are not allowed
to cross the boundary, the system is said
to be isolated.
An open system allows the transfer of
both mass and energy across a boundary.
Mass cannot cross the boundary of
a closed system, but energy can.
A control volume with moving and
fixed boundaries.
Any characteristic of a system is called a
property. Properties can be intensive or
extensive.
If a property is independent of the mass
of the system, it is an intensive property.
Otherwise, it is extensive.
Extensive properties per unit mass are
called specific properties.
The state of a system refers to its
conditions which can be described
completely by its properties.
A system is said to be in thermodynamic
equilibrium if maintains thermal,
mechanical, phase and chemical
equilibrium.
A process refers to any change in the
state of a system. A process that starts
and ends with the same state is called a
cycle or cyclic process.
A system is said to be in thermodynamic
equilibrium if maintains thermal,
mechanical, phase and chemical
equilibrium.
A process refers to any change that a
system undergoes from one equilibrium
state to another.
The series of states that the system has
undergone during a process is called the
path of the process.
Temperature maybe regarded as the
quantitative measure of the hotness or
coldness of a body.
Statistically, temperature is defined as
the measure of the average kinetic
energy of all the molecules that make up
a material.
A condition in which the temperature of
a system is the same and equal to the
temperature of its surroundings is called
thermal equilibrium.
Two bodies are in thermal equilibrium if
they are at the same temperature,
whether or not they are in physical
contact.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics states
that if two bodies are in thermal
equilibrium with a third body, they are
also in thermal equilibrium with each
other.
Two bodies can be in thermal equilibrium
with each other even if they are not in
physical contact with each other.
Temperature scales are used as the basis
for measuring temperature.

A temperature scale that is independent
of the properties of any materials is
called a thermodynamic temperature
scale.
The thermodynamic temperature scale in
the SI system is the Kelvin scale. In the
English system, it is Rankine scale.
A temperature scale that is nearly
identical to the Kelvin scale is the ideal-
gas temperature scale.
Temperatures in this scale are measured
using a constant-volume gas
thermometer.

The Kelvin scale is considered as the
absolute temperature scale. It is based on
two fixed temperatures namely the
absolute zero and the triple point of
water.
Absolute zero: 273.15C = 0 K
Triple point (H
2
O): 0.01C = 273.16 K
One kelvin is defined as 1/273.16 of the
difference between the triple point of
water and absolute zero.
The expansion of a material when heat is
applied is called thermal expansion.
Properties like length and volume are
affected by temperature changes.

Jim uses a steel measuring tape that is
exactly 50.000 m long at an ordinary
temperature of 25C. What is the length
of the steel tape on a hot summer day
when the temperature gets 35C?
Ans: 50.006 m
The expansion or contraction of
materials due to temperature changes
may result to thermal stress , which is
analogous to pressure (force per unit
area).
= ET
A cylindrical aluminum having a radius of
2.5 cm is used as a spacer between two
steel walls such that the two bases of the
cylinder are touching the walls. At 17C,
the cylinder just slips in between the
walls. When it warms to 25C, calculate
the stress in the cylinder and the force
that it exerts on each wall, Assuming that
the walls are perfectly rigid.
Ans: 26.4 kN
Heat is defined as the
transfer of thermal
energy across a
boundary or from one
body to another due to
temperature difference
between them.
Since heat is a transfer of energy, it has
the same unit as energy.
joule
calorie
BTU
1 BTU = 1055 J
1 cal = 4.186 J
1 cal = 4.186 J
1 BTU = 1055 J
1 BTU = 252 cal
1 BTU = 778 ft-lb
The amount of heat required to change
the temperature of a given mass of a
pure substance is called sensible heat.
This amount of heat Q is directly
proportional to the mass m of the
substance and to the change in
temperature T.
Q = mcT
The specific heat is defined as that
amount of energy transferred by heat
necessary to change temperature of a
given unit of mass by 1 C.

The molar heat capacity of a substance is
the product of its specific heat and molar
mass.
Determine the molar heat capacity of
water.
Ans: 75.35 J/mol K
The law of Dulong and Petit states that
the molar heat capacities of most
elemental solids approach the value 3R,
which is approximately 25 J/molK.
A transition from one state of matter to
another is called a phase change. At a
given pressure, a substance changes from
one phase to another at a definite
temperature. More importantly, the
phase change is always accompanied by
the absorption or release of energy,
usually by heat.
Latent heat is the amount of energy
transfer needed to change the phase of a
given mass of substance without
changing its temperature.

body equals the heat gained by the

There are three mechanisms on how
energy can be transferred by heat in
thermal processes:
conduction
convection
radiation
Conduction is the process by which
energy is transferred by heat as a result
of interaction among particles. The
transfer of energy occurs when the
particles gain kinetic energy in collision
with more energetic particles. The gain
in KE results to a change in temperature.
The rate at which energy is transferred by
thermal conduction is proportional to the
temperature gradient.

What is the rate of heat flow into the
cooler if the air outside has a temperature
of 27C? How much ice melts in one day?
Ans: 12.7 J/s, 3.3 kg
Convection is an energy transfer
mechanism which involves the combined
effects of conduction and fluid motion.
In convection, there is a transfer of fluid
mass from one region of space to
another.
The rate of heat transfer by convection is
determined from Newtons law of
cooling.

Radiation is the energy transfer by
means of electromagnetic waves. It does
not require any physical contact or
medium, and thus, radiation can take
place even in a vacuum.
Thermal radiation is a form of radiation
emitted by bodies because of their
temperature.
The rate at which energy is transferred
by thermal radiation is proportional to
the fourth power of the absolute
temperature of the radiating body.

State variables are the quantities that are
used to describe the state of a system.
State variables depend only of the initial
and final state of the system.

temperature of the compressed gas.
Ans: 450C

Part III
A thermodynamic system is any
collection of object that can be regarded
as a unit and has the potential to
exchange energy with its surroundings
A process that involves a change in the
state of a system is called a
thermodynamic process.
The macroscopic forms of energy are
those a system possesses as a whole with
respect to some outside reference frame.
The microscopic forms of energy are
those related to the molecular structure
of a system.
The first law of thermodynamics involves
systems in which the only energy change
is that of internal energy, and the only
energy transfer involved is by means of
heat and work.
The sum of all the microscopic forms of
energy possessed by a system is called
the internal energy, U.
This energy includes all sort of kinetic as
well as potential energy of atoms and
molecules.
Thermal energy maybe defined as the
sum of the kinetic energies of all the
molecules in a system, including both the
sensible and latent forms of internal
energy.
A process that does not involves a
transfer of energy by heat.
In an adiabatic process, the temperature
of the system can also be changed by
other means such as by doing work.
Work is the energy transfer associated
with a force acting to a system creating a
displacement.
The rate at which energy is transferred is
called power. Since work can be used to
transfer energy, power maybe defined
specifically as the rate of doing work.

The work done on or
by a gas from an
initial to final state
depends on the path
between these states.
Both heat and work are boundary
phenomena
A system may posses energy but not
heat or work.
Both heat and work are associated with
a process, not a state.
Both heat and work are path functions.
In any process energy can neither be
created nor destroyed; it can only be
converted from one form to another.
The net change in the total energy of the
system during a process is equal to the
difference between the total energy
entering and the total energy leaving the
system.
The net change in the total energy of the
system during a process is equal to the

The energy of a closed system may only
be changed by heat or work. Thus, the
change in the total energy of the system
is simply equal to the sum of the energy
transferred by heat and the net work
done.
E = Q + W

The energy of a closed system may only
be changed by heat or work. Thus, the
change in the total energy of the system
is simply equal to the sum of the energy
transferred by heat and the net work
done.

The change in the internal energy of a
system is equal to the sum of the energy

Specifically, the first law in this case is
applied to a closed system.

Being a state function, the
change in internal energy
depends only on the initial
and states of the system.
These are the quantities that are used to
describe the state of a system.
State variables depend only of the initial
and final state of the system.
Examples of state properties are
pressure, volume and internal energy.
These are the quantities at the right side
of the conservation of energy equation.
They are either positive or negative.
Examples are heat and work.
They are not associated with a given
state of the system but rather, with a
change in the system.
For a cyclic process, the initial and final
states of the system are identical, and
thus, the change in internal energy must
be zero.
The internal energy in a cyclic process
remains constant.
U = 0

In an isolated system, no energy is
transferred between the system and
surroundings either by heat or by work.
The internal energy of an isolated system
remains constant.
U = 0

In an adiabatic process, no energy is
transferred by heat, thus, the change in

Part IV
A process that proceeds spontaneously in
one direction but not the other is called
an irreversible process. All processes that
occur in nature are irreversible.
A reversible process is an idealized
process in which the system is always in
thermodynamic equilibrium with its
surroundings. Thus, a reversible process
is an equilibrium process.
When a process takes place and yet the
system remains very close to an
equilibrium state, which makes the
process nearly reversible, the process is
called quasi-static or quasi-equilibrium
process.
Any device that transforms heat partly
into work or mechanical energy is called
a heat engine.
The matter inside the engine is called the
working substance.
The simplest engine to analyze are those
that involve a cyclic process.
The working substance
absorbs energy by heat
from a high
temperature reservoir
Work is done by the

Energy is expelled by
heat to a lower

It is impossible to construct a heat
engine operating in a cycle that will
produce an amount of work equal to the
amount of input energy by heat.
A device that transfers energy from a
cold to hot reservoir is called a heat
pump or a refrigerator.
The transfer of energy from a cold to hot
reservoir can only be achieved if work is
done on the engine.
It is impossible to
construct a machine
that can transfer
energy by heat from
a lower to higher
temperature without
the input energy by
work.
