CHAPTER 7:
Thermodynamics
Thermodynamic system is
any collection of objects that is
convenient to regard as a unit,
and that may have the
potential energy to exchange
energy with its surroundings.

7.1 First Law of Thermodynamics
• Thermodynamics is the study of energy relationships that
involve heat, mechanical work, and other aspects of energy
and energy transfer.
• states : The heat, Q supplied to a system is equal to the
increase in the internal energy, ΔU of the system plus
the work done, W by the system on its surroundings.
Q = ∆U + W and ΔU = U2 - U1

• The table below shows the sign for each symbol in the First
Law of Thermodynamics.
ΔU = U2 - U1 = 0
• A cyclic process is a process whereby the gas undergoes
various changes and returns to its inital state.

Learning Outcome:
7.2 Thermodynamics processes
At the end of this chapter, students should be able to:
Define the following thermodynamics processes:
Isothermal, ΔU= 0
Isovolumetric, W = 0
Isobaric, ΔP = 0
Adiabatic, Q = 0
Sketch P−V graph for all the thermodynamic processes.

∆U = nRT2 - nRT1 = 0

From FLOT, ∆U = Q − W
If ∆U = 0 then Q =W

2) Isochoric (isovolumetric) process
• W = P(V2 - V1) = 0 V1 = V2
From FLOT, ∆U = Q − W
If W = 0 then
∆U = Q
• From the Gay-Lussac's law :

3) Isobaric process
• Isobaric process is defined as a process that occurs
at constant pressure.
From flot, ∆U = Q − W

remains unchanged, thus

Example 7.2
How much work is done by an ideal gas in expanding
isothermally from an initial volume of 3.00 liters at 20.0
atm to a final volume of 24.0 liters?
Solution
V1 = 3.00 liters, V2 = 24.0 liters ,
P = 20.0 atm

Example 7.3
Two liters of an ideal gas have a temperature of 300 K
and a pressure of 20.0 atm. The gas undergoes an
isobaric expansion while its temperature is increased to
500 K. What work is done by the gas ?
(1liters = 1x 10-3 m3)
Solution T1 = 300 K, T2 = 500 K , P = 20.0 atm, V1 =2 liters

Example 7.4
Two moles of an ideal gas are at a temperature of 300 K
and a pressure 2.5 x 105 Pa. The gas expands
isothermally to twice its initial volume, and then
undergoes isobaric compression to its initial volume.
i) Calculate the initial volume of the gas
ii) What is the pressure of the gas after the gas expands
isothermally to twice its initial volume?
iii) What is the final temperature of the gas after being
compressed isobaric?
iv) Calculate the work done in the isothermal expansion
v) Draw the P-V graph for the processes above
