2. Temperature 
The property of an object that determines the direction of heat energy (Q) transfer to or from other objects.

3. Temperature Scales
Three Common Scales are used to measure temperature:
1. Fahrenheit Scale (°F)
2. Celsius (Centigrade) Scale (°C)
3. Kelvin Scale (K)

4. Celsius (Centigrade) Scale (°C)
Fahrenheit Scale (°F)
Used widely in the U.S. Divides the difference between freezing & boiling point of water at sea level into 180 steps.
Celsius (Centigrade) Scale (°C)
Used almost everywhere else in the world. Divides the freezing to boiling continuum into 100 equal steps.

5. Kelvin Scale (K) T = 0 K  “Absolute Zero”.
Used by scientists. Created by Lord Kelvin. Starts with
T = 0 K 
“Absolute Zero”.

(Interesting to me!)
There have also been many other temperature scales used in the past! Among these are:
1. Rankine Scale (°Ra) Réaumur Scale (°Ré)
3. Newton Scale (°N) Delisle Scale (°D).
5. Rømer Scale. (°Rø).

9. The Kelvin Scale Sometimes Called the Thermodynamic Scale
The Kelvin Scale was created by Lord Kelvin to eliminate the need for negative numbers in temperature calculations.
The Kelvin Scale is defined as follows:
1. The degree size is identical to that on
the Celsius scale.
2. The temperature in Kelvin degrees at the triple point of water is DEFINED to be Exactly K

19. The Kelvin or Thermodynamic
Temperature Scale (with Single Fixed Point)
Defining a temperature scale with a single fixed point
requires a linear (monotonic) relationship between a
Thermometric Parameter X & the
Temperature Tx: X = cTx, (c is a constant)
By international agreement in 1954,
The Kelvin or Thermodynamic
Temperature Scale
uses the triple point (TP) of water as the fixed point. There,
The temperature is defined
(not measured!) to be Exactly K

20. The Triple Point of Water•
At the triple point of water: gas, solid & liquid all co-exist at a pressure of atm.

24. Defining the Kelvin & Celsius Scales Relationship between °C and K
“One Kelvin degree is (1/273.16) of the
temperature of the triple point of water.”
Named after William Thompson (Lord Kelvin).
Relationship between °C and K
°C = K
Note that careful measurements find that at
1 atm. water boils at K above the
melting point of ice (i.e. at K) so
1 K is not exactly equal to 1° Celsius!

27. Heat Reservoirs (or “Heat Baths”)

28. The 2nd Law Tells Us That: it increases the entropy
Heat flows from objects at high temperature to objects at low temperature
because this process increases disorder & thus
it increases the entropy
of the system.

29. Heat Reservoirs Conservation: E = E1 + E2
The following discussion is similar to that for which the Energy Distribution Between Systems in Equilibrium was discussed & the conditions for equilibrium were derived. A1 A2
Recall: We considered 2 macroscopic systems A1, A2, interacting & in equilibrium. The combined system
A0 = A1 + A2, was isolated.
E2 =
E - E1 E1
Then, we found the most probable energy of system A1, using the fact that the probability finding of A1 with a particular energy E1 is proportional to the product of the number of accessible states of A1 times the number of accessible states of A2, Consistent with Energy
Conservation: E = E1 + E2

30. Consistent with Energy Conservation: E = E1 + E2.
The probability finding of A1 with a particular energy E1 is proportional to the number of accessible states of A1 times the number of accessible states of A2,
Consistent with Energy Conservation: E = E1 + E2.
That is, it is proportional to
Using differential calculus to find the E1 that maximizes Ω(E1, E – E1) resulted in statistical definitions of both the Entropy S & the Temperature Parameter :
It also resulted in the fact that the equilibrium condition for A1 & A2 is
that the two temperatures are equal!

31. A2 is a Heat Reservoir or Heat Bath for A1.
Consider a special case of the situation just reviewed. A1 & A2 are interacting & in equilibrium. But,
A2 is a Heat Reservoir or Heat Bath for A1.
Conditions for A2 to be a Heat Reservoir for A1:
E1 <<< E2, f1 <<< f2
Terminology in some books: A2 is “large” compared to A1
Assume that A2 absorbs a small amount of heat energy Q2 from A1.
Q2 = E2  E1
The change in A2’s entropy in this process is
S2 = kB[lnΩ(E2 + Q2) – lnΩ(E2)]
Expand S2 in a Taylor’s Series for
small Q2 & keep only the lowest order
term. Also use the temperature
parameter definition.

32. S2 = kB[lnΩ(E2 + Q2) – lnΩ(E2)]
Expand S2 in a Taylor’s Series for small Q2 & keep only the lowest order term. Use the temperature parameter definition & connection with absolute temperature T: l
This results in S2  kBQ2. Also note that since the two systems are in equilibrium, T2 = T1 T so:
S2  [Q2/T]
In another notation this is:
S'  [Q'/T]

33. Summary: Heat Reservoirs
For a system interacting with a heat reservoir at temperature T & giving heat Q' to the reservoir, the change in the entropy of the reservoir is:
S'  [Q'/T]
For an infinitesimal amount of heat đQ exchanged, the differential change in the entropy is:
dS = [đQ/T]

34. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics:
Heat flows from high temperature objects to low
temperature objects because this increases the disorder
& thus the entropy of the system. We’ve shown that,
For a system interacting with a heat reservoir at temperature T & exchanging heat Q with it, the entropy change is:

35. Equations of State

36. External Parameter Dependence of Ω
The following is similar to our previous discussion, where the Energy Distribution Between Systems in Equilibrium was discussed & the conditions for equilibrium were derived.
Recall: We considered 2 macroscopic systems
A1, A2, interacting & in equilibrium. The combined system A0 = A1 + A2, was isolated. A2 A1
Now: Consider the case in which A1 & A2 are also characterized by external parameters x1 & x2. x2 x1
E2 =
E - E1 E1
As discussed earlier, corresponding to x1 & x2, there are generalized forces X1 & X2.

37. In earlier discussion, we found the most probable energy of system A1, using the fact that the probability finding of A1 with energy E1 is proportional to the product of the number of accessible states of A1 times the number of accessible states of A2, Consistent with Energy Conservation: E = E1 + E2
That is, it is proportional to
Using calculus to find E1 that maximizes Ω(E1, E – E1) resulted in statistical definitions of the Entropy S & the Temperature
Parameter .
Another result is that the equilibrium condition for A1 & A2 is that the temperatures are equal!

38. Ω(E1,x1;E2,x2) = Ω(E1,x1)Ω(E - E1,x2)
When external parameters are present, the number of accessible states Ω depends on them & on energy E.
Ω = Ω(E,x)
In analogy with the energy dependence discussion, the probability finding of A1 with a particular external parameter x1 is proportional to the number of accessible states of A1 times the number of accessible states of A2.
That is, it is proportional to
Ω(E1,x1;E2,x2) = Ω(E1,x1)Ω(E - E1,x2)

39. <X> = T[∂S(E,x)]/∂x (3)
The probability finding of A1 with a particular external parameter x1 is proportional to the number of accessible states of A1 times the number of accessible states of A2.
Ω(E1,x1;E2,x2) = Ω(E1,x1)Ω(E - E1,x2)
Using differential calculus to find the x1 that maximizes Ω(E1,x1;E2,x2) results in a statistical definition of
The Mean Generalized Force <X>
<X>  ∂ln[Ω(E,x)]/∂x (1)
or <X> = (kBT)∂ln[Ω(E,x)]/∂x (2)
In terms of Entropy S:
<X> = T[∂S(E,x)]/∂x (3)
(1) ((2) or (3)) is called an Equation of State for system A1. Note that there is an Equation of State for each different external parameter x.

40. The Mean Generalized Force <X> is
Summary
For interacting systems with an external parameter x, at equilibrium
The Mean Generalized Force <X> is
<X>  ∂ln[Ω(E,x)]/∂x (1)
Or <X> = (kBT)∂ln[Ω(E,x)]/∂x (2)
<X> = T ∂S(E,x)]/∂x (3)
(1) ((2) or (3)) is an Equation of State for system A1. There is an Equation of State for each different external parameter x.
