Fundamentals of THERMODYNAMICS
Introduction • Thermodynamics is science of energy transfer and its effects on properties. • Main aim is to convert disorganized form of energy into organized form of energy in an efficient manner. • Based on the macroscopic approach which does not require knowledge of behavior of individual particles and is called classical thermodynamics.
System, Surroundings, and Boundary • A thermodynamic system is defined as quantity of matter or a region in space chosen for study. • The region outside the system is called surroundings. • The real or imaginary surface that separates the system from its surroundings is called boundary. • Universe = System + Surroundings
Types of System • Closed System • Open System • Isolated System
Closed System • A closed system consists of fixed amount of mass and no mass may cross the system boundary but energy in form of heat and work may cross the system boundary. • The closed system boundary may move. • Examples of closed systems are sealed tanks and piston cylinder devices without valves.
Open System or Control Volume • An open system has mass as well as energy crossing the boundary, called a control surface. • Examples of open systems are pumps, compressors, turbines, valves and heat exchangers.
Isolated system • An isolated system is one in which there is no interaction between the system and surroundings. • It is of fixed mass and energy, and there is no mass or energy transfer across the system boundary. • Examples of isolated system are universe and hot coffee in a well insulated flask.
Closed, Open, and Isolated Systems Types of Energy Mass Transfer Examples Closed System Yes No Gas in a sealed container Open System Yes Yes Turbines, pumps, valves etc. Isolated System No No Universe, Thermoflask
Properties of a System • Any measurable characteristic of a system in equilibrium is called a property. • The property is independent of the path used to arrive at the system condition. • Properties are point functions. • Properties are exact differentials. • Properties may be intensive or extensive.
Extensive Properties • Extensive properties depends on size or mass of the system. • Some extensive properties are: a. Mass b. Volume c. Total Energy d. Electric Charge e. Magnetization
Intensive Properties • Intensive properties are independent of size or mass of the system. • Some intensive properties are: a. Pressure b. Temperature c. Density d. Velocity e. Viscosity
Important points w.r.t Properties • Extensive properties per unit mass are intensive properties. For example, the specific volume v, is defined as v = 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑠 = 𝑉 𝑚 = 𝐸𝑥𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝐸𝑥𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 = Intensive • Specific Properties are intensive properties.
Thermodynamics Equilibrium A system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium if it maintains a. Thermal Equilibrium ( Equality of Temperature ) b. Mechanical Equilibrium ( Equality of Forces / Pressure ) c. Chemical Equilibrium ( Equality of Chemical Potential )
State, Path, and Process • Condition of a system as defined by properties of system is known as state of a system. • Series of state of system through which process occurs is known as path of a system. • Any change of state of a system is known as process. • Some of the processes are- Process Property held constant Isobaric Pressure Isothermal Temperature Isochoric Volume Isentropic Entropy
Thermodynamic cycle • A system is said to have undergone a cycle if the initial and final points are same. • Minimum number of processes required for a cycle are 2. • For a cycle change in property is equal to zero.
Pure Substance • A substance is said to be a pure substance if it is a. Homogeneous in Chemical Composition. b. Homogeneous in Chemical Aggregation. • Examples of pure substance are atmospheric air, steam-water mixture and combustion products of a fuel. • Phase ( solid, liquid, gas ) is not considered while determining pure substance.
