  2. TUTORIAL 3 1. In problem 2, tutorial 2, (i) show that angles a1, a2 opposite sides with lengths 1m,2m are not determined but the ratio sin(a1)/sin(a2) is determined and compute it, (ii) let M denote the mass of the object on the side having length 2m and express the change of total gravitational potential energy if the system has a ‘virtual displacement’ in which the object with mass M moves by distance d downwards, (iii) explain the “Principle of Virtual Work” and use it to compute the value of M if the system is in equilibrium, (iv) discuss Simon Stevinus and use his method to compute M. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Stevin.html http://3quarksdaily.blogs.com/3quarksdaily/2005/05/monday_musing_s.html 2

  3. WHAT IS THERMODYNAMICS? Read chapter 19 (handouts) of Halliday, Resnick and Walker, study Review&Summary and Problems. Deals with thermal (internal) energy and involves the concept of temperature, an elusive property of objects that alters apparent properties, including lengths & volumes and electrical resistance, any of which can be used to make a thermoscope (not yet a thermometer). Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: If bodies A and B are each in thermal equilibrium with a third body T, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. 3

  4. DEFINING TEMPERATURE The triple point of water http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_point degrees Kelvin Pascals We define the temperature of a gas by Here we use the fact that T is the same for ALL gases. 4

  5. CONSTANT-VOLUME GAS THERMOMETER The ingenius mercury thermometer shown below (page 428 in HRW) can measure T at constant volume Questions How is constant volume maintained at different temperatures? How is density measured? Gas-filled bulb Reservoir that can be raised and lowered 5

  6. TEMPERATURE SCALES All scales are inter-related by affine functions And therefore determined by their values at absolute zero and the triple point of water Absolute zero Triple point Question Compute the values of a and b for the six affine functions that convert K  C, K F, C K, C F, F K, F C 6

  7. IDEAL GAS LAW Amadeo Avogado 1776-1856 suggested that all gases contained the same number of molecules for a fixed volume, pressure and temperature moles molecules = where = # molecules in a mole = the Boltzmann constant = the gas constant Question How are k and R related? 7

  8. TUTORIAL 3 2. Newton’s 3rd Law states: When 2 bodies (particles) interact, the forces on the bodies from each other are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The (linear) momentum of a body is defined to be the product of its mass times its velocity and the momentum of a system is the ‘sum of its parts’ (i) use Newton’s laws to show that when 2 bodies interact (eg in a collision) the system momentum is conserved, (ii) compute the average pressure that a molecule with kinetic energy E_kin exerts on a cubic container with volume V, (iii) combine this and the ideal gas law to show average molecular kinetic energy = 3kT/2 8

  9. TEMPERATURE AND HEAT Thermal or internal energy consists of kinetic and energies associated with their random motions and, especially for solids and liquids, the potential energy due to their proximity. Heat Q is thermal energy transferred to a system from its environment, Q > 0, Q < 0 when the system temperature is lower, higher than environment’s, it can be associated with a change of temperature where m=mass and c = specific heat capacity of a material (c=4190J/(kg K for water at 14.5C) or with a change of phase (heats of fusion and vaporization). 9

  10. HEAT TRANSFER MECHANISMS Heat can be transferred by conduction convection, and radiation Questions What are the constants in these equations? 10

  11. insulation lead shot WORK AND HEAT W pressure state diagram Q volume thermal reservoir W (and Q) depend on the thermodynamic process, described by a path, not only on initial&final states 11

  12. THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES As shown on p 438-439 in HRW, W = the work done by a system is path dependent, this is also true for Q = heat transferred to the system since, as stated in lines 6-8 from bottom page 435 that gases have different values for their specific heats under constant-pressure and under constant-volume conditions. Question Compute W for constant p and constant T 12

  13. FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS There exists an internal energy function such that during any thermodynamic process The first law is illustrated for adiabatic (Q=0), constant volume (W = 0), and closed cycle or cyclic processes on page 441 of HRW. Free expansion on page 442 differs from all other processes why? 13

  14. SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS There exists an entropy function such that during any thermodynamic process or, equivalently, such that 14

  15. TUTORIAL 3 3. Combine the formular with the ideal gas law and the eqn. where moles of a quantity of gas and molar specific heat at constant volume to show that for an ideal gas 4. Find out what a Carnot Cycle is and how it differs from a Stirling Cycle. What is more efficient? 5. What is free energy and how does it explain the thermodynamics of chemical reactions? 15
