Heat Exchange

Conduction – molecules touch each other and exchange energy.

Convection – hot fluids rise Radiation – electromagnetic

radiation like light, infrared,

ultraviolet radiation; all frequencies.

These are very important!!

Heat conduction

If we put a torch to a piece of metal, the molecules in the metal have increased kinetic energy. They collide with adjacent molecules, and the heat moves down the material via these collisions.

Some materials transport heat energy more easily than others. Metals are good heat conductors. Wood and plastics are poor.

The constant k is called the thermal conductivity.

Materials with large k are called conductors; those with small k are called insulators.

Note: materials that are good heat conductors are also good electrical conductors. Why?

Note in the table on thermal conductivities that air is a very poor heat conductor. In fact, we could say it is a good heat insulator.

This is why double pane windows are such good insulators both in the summer and winter. Glass panes are thin and conduct heat much better than air. The layer of air does wonders!


Building materials are measured using R-values rather than thermal conductivity:

Here, is the thickness of the material./R k=

Heat convection

Well known phenomenon because hot fluids rise due to their lower density. We take advantage of this by putting heat ducts on the floor.

Did demo – convection chimney


Convection occurs when heat flows by the mass movement of molecules from one place to another. It may be natural or forced; both these examples are natural convection.

Heat radiationHave you ever sat in front of a campfire and wondered why your face is so warm, and your behind so cold?

All objects emit electromagnetic radiation. Waves easily carry energy in the form of light, radar, microwave (cell phone), etc.

Our existence depends on heat radiation from the Sun.

If you are in the sunlight, the Sun’s radiation will warm you. In general, you will not be perfectly perpendicular to the Sun’s rays, and will absorb energy at the rate:

Consider a system:Automobile engineHuman bodySimple piston and cylinder

We want to consider what happens if we add heat to our system or take heat away.

Also let the system do work or have work done on it.

What happens to internal energy? The internal energy is the sum of all the kinetic and potential energies.

The Internal Energy of a System

If we add heat Q to a system having internal energy Ei, the new internal energy of the system is Ef = Ei + Q. E = Ef – Ei = Q

Ei Ef = Ei + Q

Work and Internal Energy

If the system does work W on the outside, then the system loses internal energy.

Ei – Ef = W E = Ef – Ei = -W

E

i

Ef = Ei -W

First Law of Thermodynamics(Conservation of Energy)

Let’s combine the last two equations:

E = Ef – Ei = Q

E = Ef – Ei = -W

Because both heat flow and work can occur, the change in internal energy of a system depends on both Q and W.

E Q W First law of thermodynamics

Signs of Q and W ***

Q positive System gains heat

Q negative System loses heat

W positive Work done by system

W negative Work done on system

The convention for W is opposite of that in chemistry.( )E Q W

The internal energy E depends on the state of the system (P, V, T, m, n). They are called state functions.

Heat flow Q and work W are not state functions. They depend on how the system is changed.

is constant.T

Isothermal

In an adiabatic process, the system is well insulated thermally, and no heat flows (Q = 0).When the piston compresses the volume, the pressure and temperature must both go up.

Adiabatic Heating

If we push down quickly, there is no time for heat to flow, and the process is adiabatic. Temperature rises quickly.

Do demo

When the piston moves up, the volume expands, and the pressure and temperature decrease.

Adiabatic process occurs often when the process is rapid, and there is no time for heat to flow.

Thermodynamic Processes and Their Characteristics

Constant pressure W = PV Q = Eint + PV

Constant volume W = 0 Q = Eint

Isothermal (constant temperature)

Adiabatic (no heat flow)

Eint = Q – W

W = – Eint

Q = 0

Work Done by Thermal Systems

If the first law of thermodynamics is about energy conservation, then the 2nd law is about the way in which energy flows.

Examples:A bowl of water sitting in this room does not spontaneously freeze.

It is impossible to construct an engine that can extract thermal energy from a system and turn all that energy into work.

Thermal systems spontaneously change in only certain ways.

2nd Law of ThermodynamicsWe can discuss this law in a number of ways.

The law basically states the way in which heat flow occurs.

Heat flow between two objects brought together in thermal contact always goes from the hotter object to the colder object.

Lots of ways to say the same thing!

Heat Engines

An engine is a device that converts heat into mechanical work.

Engines must operate in cycles in order to be useful. A piston and cylinder must return to original position. The change in internal energy is zero.

An engine operates between two thermal reservoirs.

Entropy

There are several ways to look at entropy, but eventually they are all equal.

Entropy is related to disorder in a system.

A messy bedroom has more entropy than a clean one.

The natural order of the universe is to increase entropy. Your bedroom never naturally becomes clean; it always naturally becomes messy.

Entropy is also related to probability. There is a higher probability that a block of ice will melt at room temperature than it will get colder. Thermodynamics does not prevent either action. The probability of the latter is incredibly small.

Conceptual Quiz:Humpty Dumpty falls off and breaks. Can he get back together again?

A) Yes, very easily. B) Yes, but with extremely low probability. C) No, there is no possibility.D) Are you kidding us?Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;All the King's horses and all the King's men,Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Answer: B

From what we just learned, this is only a question of probabilities. And no, I am not kidding!

Entropy is a very fundamental property, and is a state variable. It is determined by the heat flow Q divided by the temperature T.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

The total entropy always increases when heat flows from a warmer object to a colder one in an isolated two-body system. The heat transferred is the same, and the cooler object is at a lower average temperature than the warmer one, so the entropy gained by the cooler one is always more than the entropy lost by the warmer one.

Q QS

T T


The fact that after every interaction the entropy of the system plus the environment increases is another way of putting the second law of thermodynamics:

The entropy of an isolated system never decreases. It either stays constant (reversible processes) or increases (irreversible processes).

The total entropy of the universe increases whenever an irreversible process occurs.

The total entropy of the universe is unchanged whenever a reversible process occurs.

This is another way to state the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.

There is some really bad news here. Because the universe actually works through irreversible processes, the entropy is gradually increasing. There will eventually be a gradual “heat death” of the universe. The universe will be full of energy which cannot be used to perform work! We are doomed!

Order, Disorder, and EntropyAs we have stated, entropy is related to disorder.As the entropy of a system increases, its disorder increases as well.GOOD NEWS: When you go home, and your mother fusses about how messy your bedroom is, tell her it is because entropy is increasing, and it is the natural order of the universe. There is little you or your mother can do about it (without doing a lot of work!). She will be impressed by how much physics you have learned!


Entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system. This gives us yet another statement of the second law:

Natural processes tend to move toward a state of greater disorder.

Example: If you put milk and sugar in your coffee and stir it, you wind up with coffee that is uniformly milky and sweet. No amount of stirring will get the milk and sugar to come back out of solution.


Another example: When a tornado hits a building, there is major damage. You never see a tornado approach a pile of rubble and leave a building behind when it passes.


Statistical Interpretation of Entropy and the Second Law

The most probable distribution of speeds in a gas is Maxwellian:

The most probable state is the one with the greatest disorder, or the greatest entropy. With k being Boltzmann’s constant and W the number of microstates, Boltzmann showedHighly

unlikely

lnS k W=


Statistical Interpretation of Entropy and the Second Law

In this form, the second law of thermodynamics does not forbid processes in which the total entropy decreases; it just makes them exceedingly unlikely.


Thermal Pollution, Global Warming, and Energy Resources

Over 90% of the energy used in the U.S. is generated using heat engines to drive turbines and generators—even nuclear power plants use the energy generated from fission to heat water for a steam engine. The thermal output QL of all these heat engines contributes to warming of the atmosphere and water. This is an inevitable consequence of the second law of thermodynamics.

The heat flow rate is k A (T1 − T2)/L. All things being

equal, bigger k leads to bigger heat loss.

Human tissue = 0.2, Wool = 0.04, in units of J/(s.m.C°).
