Physics 101: Lecture 30, Pg 4 Thermodynamics l Dynamics of thermal processes, i.e. when a system interacts with its surroundings via thermal processes : system surroundings P,V,T The state of the system (e.g. gas) is determined by P,V and T. Example: gas filled container with piston on open end of container: system = gas at pressure P and temperature T and volume V surroundings = piston and walls of container

Physics 101: Lecture 30, Pg 5 The Laws of Thermodynamics l Like Newtons laws govern the dynamics of an object in motion, the three laws of thermodynamics govern the dynamics of thermal processes. 0. Law: Thermal equilibrium (Mechanics: F = 0, a=0) Indicator of thermal equilibrium: T=0 (like a=0) Two systems are in thermal equilibrium, if there is no net flow of heat between them if brought in thermal contact (i.e. the two systems are already in their most probable state and have thus no motivation to spontaneously change their state). If two systems are individually in equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
