1 Second Law of Thermodynamics
Chapter 19 Second Law of Thermodynamics

2 Time direction Irreversible processes – processes that cannot be reversed by means of small changes in their environment

3 Configuration Configuration – certain arrangement of objects in a system Configuration for N spheres in the box, with n spheres in the left half

4 Microstates Microstate – one of the ways to prepare a configuration
An example of 4 different microstates for 4 spheres in the box, with 3 spheres in the left half

5 Multiplicity Multiplicity ( W ) – a number of microstates available for a given configuration From statistical mechanics:

6 Multiplicity

7 Multiplicity

8 Multiplicity

9 Multiplicity

10 Entropy For identical spheres all microstates are equally probable
Entropy ( S ), see the tombstone:

11 Entropy For identical spheres all microstates are equally probable
Entropy ( S ), see the tombstone: For a free expansion of 100 molecules Entropy is growing for irreversible processes in isolated systems

12 Entropy Entropy, loosely defined, is a measure of disorder in the system Entropy is related to another fundamental concept – information. Alternative definition of irreversible processes – processes involving erasure of information Entropy cannot noticeably decrease in isolated systems Entropy has a tendency to increase in open systems

13 Entropy in cosmology In modern cosmology, our universe is an isolated system, freely (irreversibly) expanding: total entropy of the universe increases and gives time its direction The evolution equation of the universe (the Friedman equation) has two solutions (positive t and negative t) – entropy is increasing in two time directions from a minimum point

14 Entropy in open systems
In open systems entropy can decrease: Chemical reactions

15 Entropy in open systems
In open systems entropy can decrease: Chemical reactions Molecular self-assembly

16 Entropy in open systems
In open systems entropy can decrease: Chemical reactions Molecular self-assembly Creation of information

17 Entropy in thermodynamics
In thermodynamics, entropy for open systems is The change in entropy is For isothermal process, the change in entropy: For adiabatic process, the change in entropy:

18 Entropy as a state function
First law of thermodynamics for an ideal gas: For irreversible processes, to calculate the change in entropy, the process has to be replaced with a reversible process with the same initial and final states or use a statistical approach

19 The second law of thermodynamics
In closed systems, the entropy increases for irreversible processes and remains constant for reversible processes In real (not idealized) closed systems the process are always irreversible to some extent because of friction, turbulence, etc. Most real systems are open since it is difficult to create a perfect insulation

20 Engines In an ideal engine, all processes are reversible and no wasteful energy transfers occur due to friction, turbulence, etc. Carnot engine: Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1796–1832)

21 Carnot engine (continued)
Carnot engine on the p-V diagram: Carnot engine on the T-S diagram:

22 Engine efficiency Efficiency of an engine (ε): For Carnot engine:

23 Perfect engine Perfect engine: For a perfect Carnot engine:
No perfect engine is possible in which a heat from a thermal reservoir will be completely converted to work

24 Gasoline engine Another example of an efficient engine is a gasoline engine:

25 Heat pumps (refrigerators)
In an ideal refrigerator, all processes are reversible and no wasteful energy transfers occur due to friction, turbulence, etc. Performance of a refrigerator (K): For Carnot refrigerator :

26 Perfect refrigerator Perfect refrigerator:
For a perfect Carnot refrigerator: No perfect refrigerator is possible in which a heat from a thermal reservoir with a lower temperature will be completely transferred to a thermal reservoir with a higher temperature
