2. THERMODYNAMICS
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
β’ When two objects are in thermal equilibrium with the third object, then there is
thermal equilibrium between the two objects itself
3. THERMODYNAMICS
Nature of Work and Heat:
β’ The changes of a system from one state to another is accompanied by change
in energy . The change in energy may appear in the form of heat, work, light, etc.,
β’ The mathematical relation that relate the mechanical work done (W) and heat
produced (H) is
W ο΅ H (or) W = JH ------(1)
Where
J is Joule mechanical equivalent of heat
β’ When H = 1 Calorie then the equation (1) becomes W = J
i.e., J is the amount of mechanical work required to produce one calorie of heat energy and
its value was calculated as 4.184 Joules
4. THERMODYNAMICS
Internal energy (E)
β’ The energy associated with a system (matter) by means of its molecular constitution
and the motion of its molecules is called internal energy. It is a state function property
First law of thermodynamics
1. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but one form of energy can converted to
another form of energy
2. It is impossible to construct a perpetual motion machine. Perpetual machine is a
machine which can produce energy without expenditure of energy
3. The total mass and energy of an isolated system remains unchanged (or) constant
5. THERMODYNAMICS
Mathematical derivation of first law of thermodynamics
β’ When a system absorbs βqβ amount of heat energy and changes from one state (A)
to another state (B)
6. Heat absorbed by the system is used by two ways
i. Increasing the internal energy of the system
i.e., βE = EB β EA
ii. Doing work βwβ by the system so that the piston can move from A (initial state) to
B (final state)
i.e., Heat absorbed by the system = Increase in internal energy + Work done by the system
(Disappear) (Appear)
q = βE + W ------ (1)
THERMODYNAMICS
7. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ Since w = F x displacement
w = P x area x displacement
w = P x volume change
w = PβV
β’ Equation (1) becomes
q = βE + PβV -------(2)
β’ For small changes
dq = dE + Pdv --------(3)
equation (1), (2) and (3) are the mathematical statements for first law of thermodynamics
8. THERMODYNAMICS
Enthalpy (H)
β’ It is defined as the total energy stored in the system
Mathematically, H = E + PV
i.e., Enthalpy of a system is obtained by adding the internal energy and the product of
pressure and volume
β’ When a system changes from state A to state B at constant pressure by absorbing βqβ
amount of heat energy
9. THERMODYNAMICS
W = PβV = P (V2 β V1)
β’ According to First law of thermodynamics
q = βE + W -------(1)
q = βE + P (V2 β V1)
q = E2 β E1 + PV2 β PV1
q = (E2 + PV2 ) β (E1 + PV1 )
q = H2 β H1
q = βH -------(2)
10. THERMODYNAMICS
i.e., The change in enthalpy of a system is the amount of heat absorbed at constant pressure
So equation (1) can become
βH = βE + W
βH = βE + PβV -------(3)
Note,
Absolute value for E & H cannot be determined but change of internal energy (βE) and
Enthalpy(βH) are measured quantities
11. THERMODYNAMICS

There are two types of heat capacities
1. Heat capacity at constant volume (CV)
2. Heat capacity at constant pressure (CP)
Heat capacity of a system
12. THERMODYNAMICS
Heat capacity at Constant Volume (CV)
β’ It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of the system
by 10C at constant volume
13. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ According to first law of thermodynamics
q = βE + PβV
q = βE + 0 (since βV = 0 )
q = βE
For small changes dq = dE
Equation (1) becomes
C =

14. THERMODYNAMICS
Heat capacity at Constant Pressure(CP)
β’ It is defined as the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of the system

16. THERMODYNAMICS
Relation between CP & Cv
β’ Cv is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature from T1 to T1+10C
by increasing the internal energy (βE = E2 β E1) for one of gases
i.e., Cv = βE
CV
CP
17. β’ CP is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature from T1 to T1+10C
by increasing the internal energy (βE) and performing work (PβV) for one of gases
i.e., CP = βE + PβV
THERMODYNAMICS
β’ So, CP is greater than Cv by PβV
i.e., CP > Cv by PβV and
CP - Cv = PβV --------(1)
β’ For one mole of an ideal gas
PV = RT --------(2)
When the temperature is raised by 10C ie., from T βT +1 , so that the volume of the system
is V+βV , then equation (2) becomes
P(V+βV) = R(T +1 ) --------(3)
18. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ Equation (3) β Equation (2), becomes
PβV = R ------- (4)
β’ Subtracting Equation (4) in Equation (1) we get
CP β CV = R
1. q = βE + W
2. q = βE + PβV
3. H = E + PV
4. βH = βE + PβV
5. βH = βE + W

Process:
Process is an operation by which the system can change from one state to another state
Types of Process :
1. Reversible process
2. Irreversible process
3. Isothermal reversible process
4. Adiabatic reversible process
5. Isochoric process
6. Isobaric process
7. Isothermal irreversible process
8. Adiabatic irreversible process
20. THERMODYNAMICS
Reversible process:
β’ Reversible process is the process in which the system can change from one state to another
state in a series of small steps by successive small decrements(dP) or increments(dP)
in external pressure that makes successive small increments (dV) or decrements (dV) in
volume
21. THERMODYNAMICS
Irreversible process:
β’ Irreversible process is the process in which the system can change from one state
to another state suddenly in a single step when the pressure difference between the system
and the surrounding is very high
22. THERMODYNAMICS
Compare reversible and irreversible process:
REVERSIBLE PROCESS IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS
οΆ Slow process οΆ Sudden process
οΆ Pressure difference is infinitesimally
small
οΆ Pressure difference is high
οΆ Involved in many small steps to
complete
οΆ Involved in single step to complete
οΆ Maximum work is obtained οΆ Maximum work is not obtained
οΆ Equilibrium existed between two
successive small steps
οΆ No existence of equilibrium between
initial and final stage
23. THERMODYNAMICS
Isothermal reversible process:
β’ Isothermal reversible process is the process in which the system can change from one state
to another state in a series of small steps by successive small decrements or increments
in external pressure (dP) that makes successive small increments or decrements in
volume (dV) at constant temperature
Heat conducting material
(so temperature remains constant during the process)
24. THERMODYNAMICS
Change in internal energy and enthalpy for isothermal reversible process:
β’ The temperature of the isothermal reversible process is constant. Since the internal
energy(E) depends upon the temperature of the system, internal energy (E) also constant
i.e., Change in internal energy (βE) = 0
β’ We know that H = E + PV
β H = β(E + PV) (For 1 mole of gas )
β H = β(E + RT)
β H = βE + R βT --------(1)
Since, βE = 0 & βT = 0 at constant temperature equation (1) becomes
β H = 0 + R (0)
β H = 0
25. THERMODYNAMICS
Heat energy (q) for the isothermal process:
β’ According to first law of thermodynamics
βE = q β w -----(1)
Since βE = 0 for an isothermal process, equation (1) becomes
0 = q β w
q = w -----(2)
Equation (2) shows that the work(w) is done at the expense of the heat absorbed(q)
26. THERMODYNAMICS
Work done in isothermal reversible expansion of an ideal gas:
β’ Let dw be the small amount of work done by the system in each step of isothermal
reversible expansion and it is given as,
dw = (P β dP) dV
dw = PdV β dPdV --------(1)
Since dPdV is very small and this value is neglected, then the equation (1) becomes
dw = PdV --------(2)
β’ The total work (w) is obtained by integrating equation (2) with in the limits V1 & V2
i.e., ππ€ = π£1
π£2
πππ --------(3)
Since for an ideal gas PV = RT and P =

π
, then equation (3) becomes
28. THERMODYNAMICS
Adiabatic reversible process:
β’ Adiabatic reversible process is the process in which the system can change from one state
to another state in a series of small steps by successive small decrements or increments
in external pressure (dP) that makes successive small increments or decrements in
volume (dV) at various temperature
i.e., no heat is enter or leave the system
Heat insulating material
(so temperature changes during the process)
29. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ Since no heat is enter into the system q = 0
According to first law of thermodynamics ,
q = βE + W
0 = βE + W
W = - βE
i.e., work is done at the expense (decrease) of the internal energy of an ideal gas
30. THERMODYNAMICS

ππΈ = Cv ππ ------------(1)
W = - Cvβπ -----------(3)
31. For finite change, equation (4) becomes
βπ» = CPβπ ------------(5)
THERMODYNAMICS
From equation (2), (3) & (5) it is clear that the value for βE , W and βH depends upon the
value of βT i.e., by knowing the initial temperature (T1) and final temperature (T2) for the
adiabatic reversible process, the value for βE , W and βH are calculated easily

β’ If Piso and Padia are the final pressure then
33. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ For isothermal expansion
P1V1 = Piso Vt ---------(1)

shown by spotted area AECD

36. βThe phenomenon of change of temperature (cooling effect) produced when a gas is
made to expand adiabatically from a region of high pressure to a region of very very low
(vacuum) pressure is called Joule Thomson effectβ
THERMODYNAMICS
Joule Thomson effect
37. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ While adiabatic expansion a part of kinetic energy of the gaseous molecules used to
overcome the vanderwaalβs forces of attraction existed between the molecules. So that the
kinetic energy decreased and the temperature of the gaseous molecule decreased. So
cooling effect takes place.
Reason:
Applications of Joule Thomson effect:
38. THERMODYNAMICS
Let us consider a volume V1 of the gas enclosed between the piston A and the porous plug G
at a pressure P1, is forced slowly through the porous plug by moving the piston A inwards
and is allowed to expand to a volume V2 at a lower pressure P2 by moving the
B outwards, as shown
Derivation of Joule β Thomson coefficient :
39. THERMODYNAMICS
β’ Work done on the system at the piston A (W1) = - P1V1
β’ Work done by the system at the piston B (W2) = P2V2
β’ Net work done by the system W = W1 + W2
W = P2V2 β P1V1 ------------(1)
β’ Since q=0 for adiabatic expansion and the first law (q =βE + W) becomes
0 = βE + W
W = -βE -----------(2)
i.e., the work is performed at the expense of internal energy and the internal energy of the
system decreased from E1 to E2 . Substitute equation(1) in equation (2) , we get
P2V2 β P1V1 = -βE
P2V2 β P1V1 = - (E2 - E1)
P2V2 β P1V1 = E1 - E2
E2 + P2V2 = E1 + P1V1 ------------(3)

Work done for adiabatic expansion of real gases :
From the first law of thermodynamics
q = βE + w ---------(1)
For adiabatic process, q = 0 so the equation (1) becomes
0 = βE + w
βE = -w ---------(2)
Since E is a state function of T and V
i.e., E = f (T,V)
dE =

Limitations of first law of thermodynamics:
First law of thermodynamics does not tell
β’ The direction of flow of heat
β’ Whether a process occur spontaneously i.e., whether it is feasible
β’ Heat energy cannot be completely converted into an equivalent of work without
producing some changes elsewhere
