Thermodynamic Laws
0th law: If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, they are
also in thermal equilibrium with each other.
2nd law: In a natural thermodynamic process, the sum of the entropies of the
interacting thermodynamic systems increases.
3rd law: At absolute zero temperature all processes cease & the entropy of
the system is zero.
5
First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics postulates conservation of the internal energy of a
closed thermodynamic system.
The internal energy 𝑈𝑈 of a closed system is the sum of potential & kinetic energy.
6
Second Law of Thermodynamics
The entropy 𝑆𝑆 is a measure of irreversibility of a change in thermodynamic state
(classical thermodynamics) & a measure of disorder (statistical mechanics).
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a closed
system increases over time or remains constant.

Thermodynamic Properties
Thermodynamic state functions describe the state of a system using state variables.
State functions do not depend on the path by which the system arrived at its
present state.
Intensive variables (pressure 𝑃𝑃, temperature 𝑇𝑇,..) do not depend on system size.
Extensive variables (volume 𝑉𝑉, number of particles 𝑛𝑛,..) depend on system size.

Internal Energy
Above equation gives the relationship between the state function 𝑈𝑈 & the
independent variables 𝑆𝑆 & 𝑉𝑉.
For a system at equilibrium with constant 𝑆𝑆 & 𝑉𝑉, the internal energy 𝑈𝑈 is at
minimum.
9
Gibbs Free Energy
Often, investigations of solids at constant temperature 𝑇𝑇 & pressure 𝑃𝑃 are of
relevance.
For such systems one should consider the Gibbs free energy 𝐺𝐺:
𝐻𝐻 = 𝑈𝑈 + 𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃 (1.7)
With the first & second law of thermodynamics it follows that 𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 0 & 𝐺𝐺 attains a
minimum for a closed system in equilibrium at constant pressure & temperature.
10
Thermodynamic State Functions
Above equations are valid for closed systems of fixed size & composition, for
which the thermodynamic state can be described by two independent variables.
11
Gibbs Free Energy
A measure for the relative phase stability is the Gibbs free energy 𝐺𝐺.
12
Specific Heat
Consider a single component system.
The specific heat is the heat absorbed to raise the temperature of the system
by 1K.

Driving Force for Solidification
Undercooling a liquid metal below its melting temperature 𝑇𝑇𝑚𝑚 leads to
solidification with a decrease in Gibbs free energy ∆𝐺𝐺.
𝐺𝐺 𝐿𝐿 = 𝐻𝐻 𝐿𝐿 − 𝑇𝑇𝑆𝑆 𝐿𝐿 (1.19)
𝐺𝐺 𝑆𝑆 = 𝐻𝐻 𝑆𝑆 − 𝑇𝑇𝑆𝑆 𝑆𝑆 (1.20)

Summary
Thermodynamics is a field of physics concerned with heat & temperature & their relation
to energy & work. It is based on four fundamental laws.
For solids, heat-treated at constant pressure & temperature, the thermodynamic state can
be most conveniently described by the Gibbs free energy 𝐺𝐺.
Solidification occurs below the melting temperature 𝑇𝑇𝑚𝑚 because 𝐺𝐺𝑆𝑆 < 𝐺𝐺𝐿𝐿 .
At 𝑇𝑇 = 𝑇𝑇𝑚𝑚 , the latent heat 𝐿𝐿 is used (released) for transformation from solid to liquid
(liquid to solid).
