Thermodynamics
System / environment
Diathermal / adiabatic Walls between the system and surroundings are called diathermal if they permit energy flow in or out
Diathermal / adiabatic Adiabatic walls do not permit any energy flow (perfect insulators)
Q, W, U HEAT WORK INTERNAL ENERGY
Ways to change U ΔU ΔU Q W
Energy added as heat can be used to do work Q ΔUΔU W
Energy added through work can be released as heat Q ΔUΔU W
Laws of TD 1) You can’t win. 2) You can’t break even. 3) You can’t quit.
0’th Law Energy flows from an object with a higher T to the object with a lower T… NATURALLY
First Law of Thermodynamics You can’t win… energy does not just ‘come out of nowhere’
Isobaric process: P = const
Isobaric graph Amount of work done
Example 1
3 “ISOS-” and “ADIA-” Isobaric – a thermodynamic process that takes place at a constant pressure Isochoric – a thermodynamic process that takes place at a constant volume Isothermal - a thermodynamic process that take place at a constant temperature Adiabatic - a thermodynamic process in which Q = 0

Isochoric process 1 st Law of Thermodynamics
Isothermal 1 st Law of Thermodynamics Note : in case of phase change internal energy changes even if temperature does not.
Adiabatic 1 st Law of Thermodynamics
Isolated system NO CHANGE IN INTERNAL ENERGY
Heat Engine
Step 1 – intake
Step 2 – compression. U is increased by work done on the mixture
Power / work step – due to combustion the gas is doing work pushing the piston down.
Exhaust – gas (and the ‘left over’ energy) is pushed out)
Efficiency of a Carnot Engine
a) U increases through heat b) U increases through work c) U decreases through heat d) U decreases through work
2 nd Law of Thermodynamics
Entropy – the measure of a system’s disorder 2 nd Law: All natural processes lead to increase of entropy of the universe.
3 rd Law of Thermodynamics It is not possible to lower the temperature of any system to absolute zero.
