1. IB PHYSICS Topic 3: Thermodynamics
IB PHYSICS Topic 3: Thermodynamics. Thermodynamics: Study of conversion of heat to other forms of energy (mechanical, light, sound, chemical, electromagnetic, nuclear, and atomic). Ex. Mechanical to Heat: J = 1 cal. 1st Law: Energy is conserved. ΔU = Q - W > 0 2nd Law: Disorder (change in entropy, ΔU) tends to increase. Entropy is unavailable energy (waste heat). Thermodynamics is based on Kinetic Theory: 1. All matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms and molecules). 2. These particles are in constant motion.

3. The Four States of Matter
1. Gases - easy to compress, particles far apart, expand to fill any container, and repel each other.
2. Liquids - no definite shape, hard to compress, particles close together, and attract each other.
3. Solids - definite shape, much harder to compress, closer spacing than liquids.
4. Plasma – electrically charged particles in chaotic motion.

4. THE GAS LAWS
1. Boyle’s Law: states that the product of pressure and volume is constant. PV = k or P1V1 = P2V2
2. Charles’ Law – states that volume and temperature are directly proportional. V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
3. Combined Law – a combination of Boyle’s and Charles’ Laws. P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
4. Ideal Gas Law – relates volume, temperature, pressure, and number of particles (n). PV = nRT where R = J/mol∙K , Universal Gas Constant.

b. TC = TK – 273 , ex. (10K = -263oC)
c. TC = 5/9(TF – 32) , ex. (32oF = 0oC)
d. TF = 9/5TC + 32 , ex. (100oC = 212oF)

7. First Law Equation: ΔU = (Uf -Ui) = Q-W
Types of Thermal Processes)
A thermal process is considered quasi-static when it occurs slowly enough that a uniform pressure and temperature exist throughout the system at all times.
Process Occurs at or with
Isobaric - constant pressure.
Isochoric - constant volume.
Isothermal - constant temperature.
Adiabatic - takes place without the transfer of heat.

9. Heat Transfer Mechanisms
Heat is the Thermal Energy transferred from an object to its surroundings due to a difference in temperature.
There are now four ways of moving heat:
Convection (moving heat with a material)
Conduction (moving heat through a material)
Radiation (moving heat away from a source)
Evaporation (using latent, hidden, heat)
Temperature determines the direction of heat transfer.
Heat ALWAYS moves from a hot to a cold object.

10. How to calculate changes in thermal energy
Q = m • c • T
Q = change in thermal energy, J
m = mass of substance, kg
c = specific heat capacity of substance (ex. Water, 4186 J/kg °C)
T = change in temperature, C
3/25/2020

11. QG + QL = 0 QG = -QL Law of Heat Exchange, Q = 0
QL = heat lost by substance at high temperature
QG = heat gained by substance at low temperature
T = change in temperature (Tf – Ti)
So now we have, when mixing 2 substances
m1•c1•(Tf – Ti) = -[m2 •c2 •(Tf – Ti)]
m1•c1•(Tf – Ti) = m2 •c2 •(Ti – Tf)

12. Specific heat - amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of substance by 1°C or 1 K).
1) Cwater = 4186 J / kg oC
2) Csand = 664 J / kg oC
Why the beach (sand) heats up quickly during the day and cools quickly at night, but water takes longer to do both.

13. Beware of Phase Changes. Watch out for Latent (hidden) Heat.
Latent Heat (H) – The amount of heat per kilogram that must be added or removed to change the phase of a particular substance
Q = m·Hf
Hf = Latent Heat of Fusion
(freezing or melting)
Q = m·Hv
Hv = Latent Heat of Vaporization
(evaporating or condensing) 13

14. Q = (k·A·ΔT·t)/L k = thermal conductivity
We can calculate the amount of heat that passes through a conductor…… A L
Q = (k·A·ΔT·t)/L
k = thermal conductivity 14

15. The radiant energy emitted by an object……
Q = energy emitted
Depends on:
Temp T
A = surface area of object
t = time
e = emissivity (depends on surface and type of radiation), 0<e<1
Q = e  T4 A t,
Stefan-Boltzmann Law,
with  = 5.67 x 10-8 J/sm2K4 ,
Stefan-Boltzmann Constant 15

16. Net Power Emitted by Object

This applies to radiant energy also:
e  T4 A

20. Carnot Efficiency
“To find the Efficiency of a Heat Engine, take its temperature.”
Sadi Carnot ( ) Paris.
In his paper, “Reflections on the Motive Power of Heat”, we find the Carnot efficiency:
Efficiency = (Thot - Tcold) / Thot = 1 – (Tcold / Thot) .
Temperatures in Kelvin. Thot = internal temperature of the engine, and Tcold is temperature of exhaust gases. Typical efficiency today is about 30%.

25. NA = 6.022x1023 particles per mole (Avogadro’s Number)
Number of moles n in a sample equals the number of particles N (atoms or molecules) in the sample divided by the number of particles per mole NA.
Or n = N/NA
NA = 6.022x1023 particles per mole
(Avogadro’s Number)
Amedeo Avogadro ( ), Turin, Italy.
Number of moles also equals mass m of the sample (in grams) divided by the mass per mole (in grams per mole ).
n = m/(mass per mole).
Mass of a particle (in grams) can also be obtained by dividing mass per mole (in g/mol) by Avogadro's number.
mparticle = mass per mole/NA.

27. Fick’s Law, named after Adolf Eugen Fick (1829-1901), Germany.
The mass of a solute that diffuses in time through a channel of known length, L, and cross-sectional area, A, is given by
m = (D·A·ΔC)t/L .
ΔC is the solute concentration difference between the ends of the channel
D is the diffusion constant.

28. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: “Two systems are in thermal equilibrium if there is no net heat flow between them when they are brought into thermal contact.”
First Law of Thermodynamics: “The total increase in thermal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat added to it and the work done on it.” ΔU = (Uf -Ui) = Q-W
The second law also states that natural processes always go in a direction that increases the entropy, S, unavailable energy, or disorder, of a system ΔS = Q – W.
A thermal process is considered quasi-static when it occurs slowly enough that a uniform pressure and temperature exist throughout the system at all times.

29. 1. An isobaric process is one that occurs at constant pressure.
The work done in any kind of quasi-static process is given by the area under the pressure versus volume graph.
W = nRT·ln(Vf /Vi).
1. An isobaric process is one that occurs at constant pressure.
W = P·ΔV = P(Vf -Vi).
2. An isochoric process is done at constant volume and no work is done.
W = 0
3. An isothermal process is done at constant temperature.
4. An adiabatic process takes place without the transfer of heat.
W = 3/2 nR(Ti -Tf)
IG19.1

30. For an Adiabatic Process, ideal gas obeys:
1. Ideal Gas Law, PV = NRT
2. PiViγ = PfVfγ, where γ = cp/cv, ratio of specific heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume.
The molar specific heat capacity of a substance determines how much heat is added or removed when the temperature of n moles of the substance changes.
This is given by the equation Q = C·n·ΔT.
For a monatomic ideal gas, the molar specific heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume are, respectively,
CP = 5/2 R and CV = 3/2 R, where R = 8.31 J/(mol·K)
the Ideal Gas Constant.
For any ideal gas, the difference between CP and CV is R, or
CP - CV = R.

31. A heat engine continuously converts thermal energy to mechanical energy and does work.
The efficiency, e, of a heat engine is expressed by the equation
e = (Work done)/(Input heat) = W/QH.
Conservation of energy requires that QH = W + QC .
Combining the equations we get, e = 1 – (QC / QH ).
From Carnot, we have QC/QH = TC/TH.
This gives an equation for the maximum efficiency that an engine can have operating between two fixed temperatures.
e Carnot = 1 - TC/TH.

32. A heat pump, air conditioner, or refrigerator uses mechanical energy to transfer heat from an area of lower to higher temperature.
These are governed by the Law of Conservation of Energy with QH = W + QC.
The coefficient of performance of a refrigerator or air conditioner is given by the equation
Coefficient of performance = QC / W.
For the heat pump which also moves heat from a cold area, we have a similar relationship,
Coefficient of performance = QH / W.
