Q

Two definitions of Thermodynamics:

A

The science of energy, it studies the interconversions of heat into work.
~Cengel and Boles

Thermodynamics is a branch of the physics that studies the energy and work associated with a system. It began in XIX with the steam engines.
~NASA Glen Research Center

Q

Fundamental Laws:

A
  • Law zero: thermal equilibrium: The heat goes to the warmer object to the coldest one.
  • First law of thermodynamics: energy conservation: The energy is not created or destroyed but it can be transformed.
  • Second law of thermodynamics: entropy: the direction of the processes, whether the process is possible or not.

Q

Microscopic level

A

(statistical thermodynamics, kinetic theory)

The properties of the substance naturally depend on the behavior of these particles.

Q

Theory of continuum.

A

The description of a substance should consider the behavior of each molecule. The equations that describe the behavior should be developed for each equation.

Q

What does the continuum assume?

A

That it is possible to simplify the granular description of the substance by using averages, and considering adequate control volumes.

Q

Continuum

An example of the macroscopic approach

A

It is not possible to know the interactions between each of the different particles, to determine the pressure over a recipient.

Como en cálculo diferencial, para hacer una ecuación diferencial, tenemos que asegurar que el proceso sea continuo.

Q

Basic concepts

25
System and surroundings System: ...
A quantity of matter or a region in a space chosen for study. Está definido por quien va a realizar el estudio, hay que definirlo bien. Depende del objeto de estudio.
26
System and surroundings Surroundings: ...
Mass or region outside the system.
27
System and surroundings Boundary: ...
The real or imaginary surface that separates the system from its surroundings. The boundary could be fixed or movable. Ver dibujo.
28
Different types of systems
Open: The matter and the energy go in and out. Ex, tobera and turbine. Closed: Ex, gas with a piston and internal combustion engine. Isolated: Everything occurs inside, neither the matter nor the energy go in or out. Ver dibujos.
29
Properties of a system Property
Any characteristic of a system is called property.
30
Familiar properties
Pressure (P), temperature (T), volume (V) and mass (M).
31
Less familiar properties
``` Viscosity Thermal conductivity Modulus of elasticity Thermal expansion coefficient Electric resistivity ```
32
Properties can be classified in
Intensive properties: temperature, pressure, density. Extensive (depend of the size of the system): total volume, total mass. Specific properties (extensive properties per unit mass): specific volume, specific energy.
33
State and equilibrium What characterize a system in a certain moment?
The properties characterize a system in a certain moment. When the properties maintain fixed values, this describes an specific equilibrium state.
34
State and equilibrium What does thermodynamics study?
Thermodynamics studies equilibrium states. There are no unbalanced potentials in the system (Thermal Eq, Mechanical Eq, Phase Eq, Chemical Eq).
35
Process and cycle Proces: ...
Any change that a system undergoes from one state to another.
36
Process and cycle Trayectory: ...
The serie of states that a system undergoes during a process.
37
Process and cycle A system is said to have...
A system is said to have undergone cycle if it returns to its initial state at the end of the process.
38
See the property diagram to help to visualize the processes.
...
39
Different types of processes Quasi static.
When a process proceeds in such a manner that the system remains infinitesimally close to an equilibrium state at all times, it is called a quasi-static or quasi-equilibrium process.
40
Different types of processes See drawings a) and b)
...
41
Different types of processes See drawing of system properties and trajectory properties.
...
42
Adicional types of processes
Isothermal Process: constant temperature. Isobaric Process: constant pressure. Adiabatic Process: there is no heat exchange. Isochoric Process: constant volume. Ver diagrama de esto.
