Thermodynamics
• The 19th century industrial revolution was powered by the
practical applications of the new understanding of the
theoretical connection between heat and mechanics.
• Thermodynamics is the study of the connection between
mechanics and average internal properties of a large system.
• In spite of its ‘approximate’ character, Thermodynamics has
emerged essentially intact, even strengthened by the twin
20th century revolutions of Relativity & Quantum Mechanics
• Thermodynamics has also made important contributions to
Cosmology.
Heat and Energy
TT
A Zen Koan for Zeroth Law of
Thermodynamics
(If it is so obvious, how come no one thought of it until after
Laws 1, 2, & 3)
• 4-stroke:
1) Compress fuel/air mixture
Explosive burn (nearly
instantaneous).
2) Adiabatic expansion
3) Exhaust
4) Fuel/Air intake
Adiabatic Process
(thermally isolated system, no heat in or out)
• Need Calculus to
show:
PV = constant
= Cp / C V
Calculus also needed
to calculate work
done.
• U = QW
• U = W
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
• First Version:
When objects of different temperature are brought into
thermal contact, the spontaneous flow of heat is always
from the hotter object to the cooler object
Heat Engine
• A heat engine is a mechanical system that
as it cycles through a repetitive motion,
transfers heat from a high temperature
heat bath to a low temperature bath, and
performs work on its environment
Qh = W + Q c
• Examples:
Diesel cycle:

Otto cycle (gasoline engine)
Stirling Engine
Carnot cycle (idealized heat engine).
Carnot Cycle
• Isothermal expansion
Heat in from high
temperature bath
W1 > 0
• Adiabatic expansion
No heat in or out
W2 > 0
• Isothermal Compression
Heat dumped into low
temperature bath
W3 < 0
• Adiabatic Compression
No heat in or out The heat engine alternates between
W4 < 0 contact with high and low
temperature reservoirs
• Net work = shaded area =
net area under P vs V graph.
Carnot Cycle Efficiency
• In the ideal Carnot cycle, a heat engine operates in a closed
loop, absorbing heat QH at high temperature TH, and
discharging heat QC at cool temperature TC, while doing work
W. The efficiency is defined by
Efficiency e = W/QH a
For the ideal carnot cycle, e = 1 – T C/TH
• (temperature measured from absolute zero).
• 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (heat engine version):
A heat engine has maximum efficiency if all proceses are reversible
All heat engines operating between T C & TH have the same efficiency
No heat engine, operating between temperatures T H and TC can have a
higher efficiency than the Carnot cycle.

CA
Walker, problem 86, solution
• BC, constant pressure compression
W = P V, note V=(VC-VB) < 0
Q = n CP T
Use PV = nRT to find TB, TC
U = Q-W = nCP T - P V = nCP T – n R T = nCV T
Ideal Gas: U= nCV T: U = nCV T
boiling
• In the boiler, the water at 100C Adiabad
absorbs latent heat from heat bath
(T>100C) and boils.
condensing
Heat Pump
• A heat engine, run in reverse, is a heat pump.
It pumps heat from the cool temperature to the hot temperature.
This violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics—NOT, because the
net work done by the system is negative (There must be work done
on the system).
• Examples
Refridgerator
• What happens to temperature in room if you leave the refridgerator
door open?
Air Conditioner
Heat pump for heating house.
• Coefficient of performance QH/W
Entropy = Measure of Disorder
