• Two objects are in thermal contact with each other if energy can be exchanged between them
• The exchanges we will focus on will not involve mechanical work (forced movement); we
will call the energy exchanged – HEAT; this is energy exchanged due to a temperature
difference
• The thermal contact does not have to also be physical contact.
• Thermal equilibrium is a situation in which two objects would not exchange energy (HEAT) if
they were placed in thermal contact
• Two objects are in thermal equilibrium if they have the same temperature

• The specific heat is essentially a measure of how thermally sensitive a substance is to the addition
of energy. The greater the substance’s specific heat, the more energy that must be added to cause
a particular temperature change
• Technically, the specific heat varies with temperature
Tf
• The correct equation is
Q m c dT
Ti
• However, if the temperature intervals are not too large, the variation can be ignored and c can be
treated as a constant
• For example, for water there is only about a 1% variation between 0o and 100oC

State Variables
• In the macroscopic approach to thermodynamics, state variables are used to
describe the state of the system
• Examples of state variables are: Pressure, temperature, volume, internal
energy,…..
• The macroscopic state of an isolated system can be specified only if the system is in
internal equilibrium
• For a gas in a container, this means every part of the gas must be at the same
pressure and temperature

The work done BY THE GAS:
• If the gas is compressed, dV < 0 and work done BY the gas is negative
• If the gas expands, dV > 0 and the work done by the gas is positive
• If the volume remains constant, the work is zero
• The work done by a gas in a quasi-static process that takes the gas
from an initial state to a final state is the area under the curve on the
PV diagram, evaluated between the initial and final states
• This is true whether or not the pressure stays constant
• The work done does depend on the path taken

W P.dV Area under the curve of a PV diagram
Vi
• The shape of the curve, i.e. the way with which the final point is reached from
the initial point, determines the value of the work done on the gas.
Heat Transfer
• Energy transfers by heat, like the work done, depend on the initial, final, and intermediate states of
the system
• Both work and heat depend on the path taken
• Neither can be determined solely by the end points of a thermodynamic process
Internal Energy
DEint = Q - W
• The minus sign is added to make W work done BY the system (W transfer is out of the system)
Isolated Systems
• An isolated system is one that does not interact with its surroundings
• No energy transfer by heat takes place
• The work done on the system is zero
• DEint = Q - W
• Q = W = 0, so DEint = 0
• The internal energy of an isolated system remains constant
THERMAL PROCESSES:
• Since Q = 0, DEint = -W
• If the gas is compressed adiabatically, W is negative so DEint is positive and the
temperature of the gas increases
• If the gas expands adiabatically, the temperature of the gas decreases
Isovolumetric Processes
• An isovolumetric process is one in which there is no change in the
volume
• Since the volume does not change, W = 0
• From the first law, DEint = Q
• If energy is added by heat to a system kept at constant volume, all of the
transferred energy remains in the system as an increase in its internal
energy
Isothermal Process
• An isothermal process is one that occurs at a constant temperature
• Since there is no change in temperature, DEint = 0
• Therefore, Q = W
• Any energy that enters the system by heat must leave the system by work

Cyclic Processes
• A cyclic process is one that starts and ends in the same state
• The change in internal energy must be zero since Eint is a state variable
• On a PV-diagram, a cyclic process appears as a closed curve
• If DEint = 0, Q = W
• In a cyclic process, the net work done by the system per cycle equals the
area enclosed by the path representing the process on a PV diagram
Figure 18-1 shows a p-V diagram, that is, a plot of the pressure of a gas versus the volume of the gas. A
complete cycle of abcda is indicated; that is, the gas is taken through various changes in pressure and
volume but is returned to its initial state at the upper left corner. Here are energy transfers as heat, to
or from the gas.
During stage ab, how much energy is transferred as heat and what is the change ΔEab in the internal
energy?
Mechanisms of Energy Transfer by Heat
• We want to know the rate at which energy is transferred
• There are various mechanisms responsible for the transfer:
• Conduction
• Convection
• Radiation
