SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS



Experimental observation: All spontaneous processes are irreversible Not all irreversible processes are spontaneous water/ice at 0 C

ice melting at +10 C

SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS



Experimental observation: All spontaneous processes are irreversible Not all irreversible processes are spontaneous

Some spontaneous processes have U and H > 0 (e.g., melting of ice at 10 C) Some spontaneous processes have U and H < 0 (e.g., freezing of water at -10 C)

SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS



Experimental observation: All spontaneous processes are irreversible Not all irreversible processes are spontaneous

Some spontaneous processes have U and H > 0 (e.g., melting of ice at 10 C) Some spontaneous processes have U and H < 0 (e.g., freezing of water at -10 C)

Issue: First law treats heat (q) and work (w) on an equal footing In reality they are not interchangeable: there are restrictions on how much q can be converted to w

SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS


Equivalent statements: (1) Kelvin: heat cannot, by a cyclic process, be taken from a reservoir and converted into work without simultaneously delivering heat from a higher to a lower temperature reservoir.

SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS


Equivalent statements: (1) Kelvin: heat cannot, by a cyclic process, be taken from a reservoir and converted into work without simultaneously delivering heat from a higher to a lower temperature reservoir. (2) Clausius: In a cyclic process, heat cannot flow from a lower to a higher temperature reservoir without the expenditure of work on the system. Generalization: all natural processes are irreversible.

(2) Clausius: In a cyclic process, heat cannot flow from a lower to a higher temperature reservoir without the expenditure of work on the system. Generalization: all natural processes are irreversible. (3) It is impossible to achieve perpetual motion of the second kind, that is, to construct a machine that will convert heat into work isothermally. (4) No heat engine operating between two temperatures can be more efficient than a reversible heat engine operating between the same two temperatures.

Energy of universe is constant, but increasingly unavailable for useful work

(1) A substance (normally a gas) is in a container closed by a piston Work (2) The substance is heated and expands, causing a piston to move (work).

Hot reservoir, TH

qH

The engine: (1) Absorbs some amount of heat qH from a hot reservoir (a hot body such as a boiler) (2) Converts part of it to work (-w) done on the surroundings by, e.g., pushing a piston (3) The difference qH - (-w) = -qC is released back to the surroundings (a cold body such as a condenser ) as heat.

What is a microscopic state? Depends on the system

For an ideal gas If you know at an instant of time where every molecule is and what its velocity is you have the full microscopic state

MOLECULAR CONNECTION
Some macroscopic states have many more microscopic states consistent with it (e.g, same P, T, components)

Let p = probability of a thermodynamic state

number of microstates consistent with a given thermodynamic state p= total number of microstates

S = k ln p

k = Boltzmanns constant true for anything

entropy is associated with the microscopic states of highest probability
