Preface ‘This book gives an elementary account of thermal physics. The subject is simple, the methods are powerful, and the results have broad applica tions, Probably no other physical theory is used more widely throughout science and engineering. ‘We have written for undergraduate students of physics and astronomy, and for electrical engineering students generally, ‘These fields for ove Purposes have strong common bonds, most notably a concem with Ferri ftses, whether in semiconductors, metals, slurs, oF nuclei, We develop methods (not original, Lut aut easily accessible elsewhere) that are well suited to these fields. We wrote the book in the fist place because we ‘were delighted by the clarity of the "new" methods as compared to those ‘we were tought when we were students ourselves. We have not emphasized several traditional wopies, some because they ‘are no longer useful and some because their eeliance on classical satisti- cal mechanics would make the course more difficult than we believe a first course should be, Also, we have avoided the use of combinatorial ‘methods where they are unnecessary.

Thermal Physics Introduction Ourapproach tothermal physics diters fram the tradition follosed in beginning physics courses. Therefore we provide this introduction to Set out what we are ‘oing to do in the chapters that follow. We show the main lies ofthe logical structure: in thi subject all the physis comes from the loge, In ordee of their appearance, the leading characters in aur story are the entropy, the lemperature, the Boltzmann factor, the chemical potential, the Gibbs factor, and the eistribus sion fonctions ‘The entropy measures the number af quantum states accessible toa ystor A close system might be in any of these quantum states and (we assume) with ‘equal probability. The fundamentt statistic element, the fundamental logical assumption, i that quantum states are either accessible or inaccessible to the system, sd the system is equally ikely to be In any one accessbte state a8 any other accessible state. Given g accessible states, the entropy is defined as 2 = logg. The entropy thus defined will be a function of the energy U, the number of particles N, and the volume 1 of the system, because these param cers emter the determination of g2 other parameters may enter as well. The use of the logarithm is a mathematical eonvenionce: itis easier to write 102° than exp({0), and it is more natural for wo systems to speak of ay + oy than of gis ‘When two systems, each of specified energy, are brought into thermal coatact ‘hey may wansfer energy; their total energy remains constant, but the constraints, on their individual energies are lifted. A transfer of energy in one direction, or peshaps inthe other, may increase the product gg, that measures the number of accessible states of the combined systems. The fundamental assumption biases the outcome ia favor ofthat allocation ofthe total energy that maximizes the number of accessible states: more is better, and moe likely, This statement is the kernel ofthe law of increase of entropy, whict isthe general expression of the second law of theemody namics, ‘We have brought 1wo systems into thermal contact so that they may transfor energy.

FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTION ‘The fundamental assumption of thermal physis is that a closed system is equally likely to be in any of the quantum states accesible to it, Al accessible quartunt states re assumed to be equally prudable—sheve & Hu HeaseR 4O prefer some accessible states over other accessibe states, A closed sy hhave constant energy, 2 constant number of particles, constant volume, and constant values of all external parameters that may influence the system, including gravitational, electric, and magnetic feds. quantum state is accessible if ils properties are compatible with the plysical specification ofthe system: the energy of the state must be in the range within which the energy ofthe system is specified and the number of particles must be jn the range within which the numberof particles is specified, With lage systems ‘we can never know either of these exactly, but it will sufice to have BUJU « 1 and BN/N 1 Unusual properties of a system may sometimes make it impossible for cxttain sates tobe accessible during the time the tysier is under observation. For example, the states of the erystaline form of SiO, are inaccessible at low temperatures in any observation that starts with the glassy oF amorphous {orm: fused silica will not convert to quartzin our lifetime ina low-temperature caperiment. You will recognize many exclusions of this type by common sense, We treat all quantum states as accessible unless they are excluded by the specification ofthe system (Figure 2.1) and the time scale of the measurement Process, States that are not accessible ae std to have zero probability.

Energy end Entropy Transfer: Definition of Heat and ork ENERGY AND ENTROPY TRANSFER: DEFINITION OF HEAT AND WORK eat and work are two diferent forms of energy transfer. Heat is the transfer of energy to a system by thermal contact with a reservoir. Work isthe transfer of energy to a system by a change inthe external parameters that describe the system, The parameters may include volume, magnetic field, electric field, ot when we discuss energy conversion processes, The most important physical process in a modern energy-intensive eiviliza- lion is the conversion of heat into work. The Industrial Revolution was made possible by the steam engine, which converts heat to work. The internal com- bostion engine, which seems to dominate man as much as it serves him, fs a Levies to convert heat to work, The problem of understanding the limitations ofthe steam engine gave rise much of the development of thermodynamics Enetgy conversion remains one ofthe central applications of thermal physics because most electrical energy is generated from heat. ‘The fundamental difference between heat and work is the difference in the entropy transfer. Consider the energy transfer dU from a reservoir (o a system with Which the reserves fa thermal contact at temperature } an entropy luansfer de «= dUjr accompaties the energy transfer, according to the argument ‘of Chapter 2 This energy transfer is what we defined above as heat, and we see itis accompanied by entropy transfer. Work, being energy transfer by a change inexernal paramelers—such as the position of piston—-does not transfer any entropy to the system. There is no place for entropy to come from when only work is petformed or transferred, However, we must be carcful: the total energy ef two systems brought into ‘contact is conserved, but their total entropy is not necessarily conserved and ‘may increase. The entropy transfer between two systems in thermal contact is ‘welldefined only ifthe entropy of one system ineceases by asmuch as theentropy fof the other decreases. Let us restrict ourselves for the present to reversible processes such that the combined entropy ofthe interacting systems remains ‘constant Later we will generalize the discussion to irreversible processes which are processes in which the total entropy ofthe two systems increases, as in the heat flow example in Chapter 2. 28 (Chapter Bs Hest and Work We can give ' quantitative expression to the distinction between heat and. work, Let dU bs the eneray change ofa system during reversible process: da isthe entropy change, and ti the temperatute, We define 0 = we co} As theheat received by the syst of encesy, the process.

Forda = 0, we have pure work; for J ~ eda, pure heat HEAT ENGINES: CONVERSION OF HEAT INTO WORK Fg Carnot ineguaits. Heat and work Have different roles in encrey conversion Processes because of the difference in entrapy transfer. Consider two cone ‘quences of the diference: G) All ypes of work ars feely convertible into mechanical work and into ach other, because the entropy transfer is zero, An ideal electrical motor, without mechanical friction or electrical resistance, is a device to convert cleciical work into mechanical work, An ideal electrical gencrator converts mechanical work into electrical work, Because all forms of work are freely convertible, they sxe thermedynasnically equivalent to each other and, particular, equivatent to mechanical work. The term work denotes all types of work. (8) Work can be completely converted into heat, But the inverse fs not trues heat cannot be completely converted into work, Entropy enters the system with the heat but docs not leave the system with the work. A device that generates work from heat must necessarily strip the entropy from the heat that has been converted to work. The entropy removed from the converted input heat cannot be peemited to pile up inside the device indefinitely; ths enteopy must ulti ‘mately be removed from the device, The only way to do this isto provide more a Meat Engines: Conversion of Heat ato Work 2» Entropy Ouiny urpet work w Orn, & Entropy Heat uiput ere Cnucopy and ene 2 flow in any continscusly opeeating reversible device p netting work fom buat.

Irreversible Work We consider the energy transfer processes of igure 88. In each process 3 is a purely mechanical or electrical system that delivers pure work with zero entropy change. The eneray transferred to 8, is converted to heat, ether by mechanical fiction or by electecal resistance. The final state of $8, is the Same as if the energy had been added as heat in the frst place, The entropy of 8; is increased by dc, = dU,/t. This entropy is newly created entropy. Processes in which new entropy is created are irreversible because there is no way to reverse the process in order to desiroy the newly ereated entropy. fnewly created entropy arises by the conversion of wark to heat, we say thal ireeversible work has been performed, we look only atthe net change ina system, there is no way to tell whether the process that led to this change was reversible or irreversible.

Binary nintures have only two constituents.

A mixtuteishetecogencous when it Contains two or more distinct phases, such as oil and water. The everyday expression “oil and water do not mis” means that their mittsre does not form single homogeneous phase. ‘The properties of mixtures differ from the properties of pure substances. The ‘icting and solidification properties of mixtutes are of special interes. Hetero ‘geneous mixtures may melt at lower temperatures then their constituents, Consider a gold-siticon alloy: pure Au melts at 1053°C and pute Si at 04°C, Dut an alloy of 69 pct Au and 31 pet Simelts (and solidifies) at 370°C.

The heat exchanger greatly reduces the cooling requirements im- posed on the expansion engine. The desiga of the heat exchanger is as important as the design of the expansion engine. ‘The work extracted by the expansion engine is the enthalpy diference between the input and ouput gas: The Lotat energy flowing into the expansion ‘engine is the internal energy U, of the gas plus the displacement work p.¥% done by the compressor, where both U, and M, reler to a given mass of gas. ‘The toral energy leaving the engine with the gas is the energy U, of the gus plus the work pp required fo miove the gas against the pressure py.

It is impractical to carry the expansion cooling 10 tke point of liquefaction: the formation of a liquid phase inside expansion engines causes mechanical operating difficulties. The final Fiquefaction stage is usually a Joule-Thomson stage, discussed below. Helium and hydrogen liquefiecs usually contain two oF more expansion engines at successive tem peratures, with mufiple heat exchangers. The principle of cooling by isentcopic expansion ofan ideal gas is applicable to the electron gas in semiconductors, When electrons flow from a semir conductor with clectron cone high eleetzon couceatation into a semiconductor witha lower ration, the electron gas expands and docs work against the poteatil barrir between the two substances that equalizes the two chemical Potentials, The resulting elstroni cooling, called the Peter effect, is used Gas Liguefecton by the Joule Thomson Eece down to about 195K quite routinely; in multistage units temperatures down, {0 135K have been schioved.
