2. Surroundings System The First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy exists in many forms, such as mechanical energy, heat, light, chemical energy, and electrical energy. Energy is the ability to bring about change or to do work Thermodynamics is the study of energy.
Surroundings
The system can exchange mass and energy through the boundary with the environment.
An example of “closed system” - no mass flow- is the gas confined in a cylinder. The boundary –in this case real wall- is made by the cylinder and the piston walls.
System
The boundary of the system is arbitrarily chosen

The First Law of Thermodynamics
First Law of Thermodynamics → Conservation of Energy:
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another.
The First Law of Thermodynamics (Conservation) states that energy is always conserved, it cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one form into another.
The energy balance of a system –as a consequence of FLT- is a powerful tool to analyze the exchanges of energy between the system and its environment.
We need to define the concept of internal energy of the system, Eint as an energy stored in the system.
Warning: It is not correct to say that a system has a large amount of heat or a great amount of work

4. The First Law of Thermodynamics. Heat, Work and Internal Energy
Joule’s Experiment and the First Law of Thermodynamics.
Equivalence between work and heat
1 calorie = Joules
Work is done on water. The energy is transferred to the water – i. e. the system- . The energy transferred appears as an increase in temperature.
We can replace the insulating walls by conducting walls. We can transfer heat through the walls to the system to produce the same increase in temperature.
The increase in temperature of the system is a consequence of an increase in Internal Energy. Internal energy is a state function of the system
Schematic diagram for Joule´s experiment. Insulating walls are necessary to prevent heat transfer from the enclosed water to the surroundings.
As the weights fall at constant speed, they turn a paddle wheel, which does work on water.
If friction in mechanism is negligible, the work done by the paddle wheel on the water equals the change of potential energy of the weights.
The sum of the heat transferred into the system and the work done on the system equals the change in the internal energy of the system

5. The First Law of Thermodynamics
Another method of doing work. Electrical work is done on the system by the generator, which is driven by the falling weight.

The First Law of Thermodynamics. Application to a particular case: A gas confined in a cylinder with a movable piston
The state of the gas will be described by the Ideal Gas Law.
How does the confined gas exchange energy (heat and work) with the surroundings?.
How can we calculate the energy –heat and/or work- transferred, added or subtracted, to the system?
What is the value of the internal energy for the gas in the cylinder?
First Law
“Quasi static processes”: a type of process where the gas moves through a series of equilibrium states. Then, we can apply the Ideal Gas Law. In practice, if we move the piston slowly, it will be possible to approximate quasi-static processes fairly well.

8. What is the value of the internal energy for the gas in the cylinder?
The First Law of Thermodynamics. Application to a particular case: A gas confined in a cylinder with a movable piston
Internal Energy for an Ideal Gas It only depends on the temperature of the gas, and not on its volume nor its pressure
What is the value of the internal energy for the gas in the cylinder?
Experiment: Free expansion For a gas at low density – an ideal gas-, a free expansion does not change the temperature of the gas.
If heat is added at constant volume, no work is done, so the heat added equals to the increase in thermal energy
Internal Energy is a state function, i.e. it is not dependent on the process, it only depends of the initial and final temperature

9. Heat transferred to a system
The First Law of Thermodynamics. Application to a particular case: A gas confined in a cylinder with a movable piston
Heat transferred to a system
If heat is added at constant pressure the heat energy transferred will be used to expand the substance and to increase the internal energy.
If the substance expands, it does work on its surroundings.
Applying the First Law of Thermodynamics
If heat is added at constant volume, no work is done, so the heat added equals the increase in thermal energy
The expansion is usually negligible for solids and liquids, so for them CP ~ CV.

10. Heat transferred to a system. A summary

Heat transferred to a system. A summary
Heat energy can be added to (or lost from) the system. The value of the heat energy transferred depends on the process.
Typical processes are
- At constant volume
- At constant pressure
For the case of ideal gas

Ideal Gas
For solids and liquids, as the expansion at constant pressure is usually negligible CP ~ CV.
Adiabatic: A process in which no heat flows into or out of a system is called an adiabatic process. Such a process can occur when the system is extremely well insulated or when the process happens very quickly.

A biatomic ideal gas undergoes a cycle starting at point A (2 atm, 1L). Process from A to B is an expansion at constant pressure until the volume is 2.5 L, after which, it is cooled at constant volume until its pressure is 1 atm. It is then compressed at constant pressure until the volume is again 1L, after which it is heated at constant volume until it is back to its original state. Find (a) the work, heat and change of internal energy in each process (b) the total work done on the gas and the total heat added to it during the cycle.
