Thermodynamics (TD):
 Perhaps the most basic science and one basic knowledge that all engineers should be
aware of.
 Thermodynamics is one of the most abstract subject and a student can often find it very
confusing if not ‘motivated’ strongly enough.
 Thermodynamics can be considered as a ‘system level’ science- i.e., it deals with
descriptions of the whole system and not with interactions (say) at individual particles
level.
 i.e., it deals with quantities (like T,P) averaged over a large collection of entities (like
molecules, atoms)*.
 This implies that questions like: “What is the temperature or entropy of an atom?”;
do not make sense in the context of thermodynamics (at lease in the usual way!).
 TD puts before us some fundamental laws which are universal** in nature (and hence
applicable to fields across disciplines).
* Thermodynamics deals with spatio-temporally averaged quantities.
** they apply to the universe a whole as well!

The language of TD
 To understand the laws of thermodynamics and how they work, first we need to get the
terminology right. Some of the terms may look familiar (as they are used in everyday
language as well)- but their meanings are more ‘technical’ and ‘precise’, when used in TD
and hence we should not use them ‘casually’.
 System is region where we focus our attention (blue liquid in figure).
 Surrounding is the rest of the universe (the water bath at constant ‘temperature’).
 Universe = System + Surrounding. Boundary is an imaginary line between the system
and the surrounding.
 More practically, we can consider the ‘Surrounding’ as the immediate neighborhood of
the system (the part of the universe at large, with which the system ‘effectively’
interacts).In this scheme of things we can visualize: a system, the surrounding and the
universe at large.

The language of TD
 To a thermodynamic system two ‘things’ may be added/removed:
 energy (heat, work) matter
 An open system is one to which you can add/remove matter (e.g. a open beaker to which
we can add water). When you add matter you also end up adding energy (which is
contained in that matter).
 A system to which you cannot add matter is called closed. Though you cannot
add/remove matter to a closed system, you can still add/remove energy (you can cool a
closed water bottle in fridge).
 A system to which neither matter nor heat can be added/removed is called isolated. A
closed vacuum ‘thermos’ flask can be considered as isolated.

4 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering


Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
The language of TD
 Matter is easy to understand and includes atoms, ions, electrons, etc.
 Energy may be transferred (‘added’) to the system as heat, electromagnetic
radiation etc.
 In TD the two modes of transfer of energy to the system considered are Heat
and Work.
 Heat and work are modes of transfer of energy and not ‘energy’ itself.
 Once inside the system, the part which came via work and the part which
came via heat, cannot be distinguished.
 Matter when added to a system brings along with it some energy. The ‘energy
density’ (energy per unit mass or energy per unit volume) in the incoming
matter may be higher or lower than the matter already present in the system.

Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Processes in TD
 Brief listing of a few kinds of processes, which we will encounter in TD:
 Isothermal process → the process takes place at constant temperature(e.g. freezing
of water to ice at –10°C)
 Isobaric → constant pressure (e.g. heating of water in open air→ under atmospheric
pressure)
 Isochoric → constant volume(e.g. heating of gas in a sealed metal container)
 Reversible process → the system is close to equilibrium at all times (and
infinitesimal alteration of the conditions can restore the universe (system +
surrounding) to the original state.
 Cyclic process → the final and initial state are the same. However, q and w need not
be zero.
 Adiabatic process → dq is zero during the process (no heat is added/removed
to/from the system)
 A combination of the above are also possible: e.g. ‘reversible adiabatic process’.
6 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering
Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Temperature
 Though we all have a feel for temperature (‘like when we are feeling hot’); in the context of TD
temperature is technical term with ‘deep meaning’.
 As we know (from a commons sense perspective) that temperature is a measure of the
‘intensity of heat’. ‘Heat flows’ (energy is transferred as heat) from a body at higher
temperature to one at lower temperature. (Like pressure is a measure of the intensity of ‘force
applied by matter’→ matter (for now a fluid) flows from region of higher pressure to lower
pressure).
 That implies (to reiterate the obvious!) if I connect two bodies(A)-one weighing 100kg at
10°C and the other (B) weighing 1 kg at 500°C, then the ‘heat will flow’ from the hotter body to
the colder body (i.e. the weight or volume of the body does not matter).
 But, temperature comes in two important ‘technical’ contexts in TD:
 it is a measure of the average kinetic energy (or velocity) of the constituent entities (say
molecules)
 it is the parameter which determines the distribution of species (say molecules) across
various energy states available.

Pressure
 Pressure* is force per unit area (usually exerted by a fluid on a wall**).
 It is the momentum transferred (say on a flat wall by molecules of a gas) per unit area, per unit time.
(In the case of gas molecules it is the average momentum transferred per unit area per unit time on to
the flat wall).
 P = momentum transferred/area/time.
 Pressure is related to momentum, while temperature is related to kinetic energy.

* ‘Normal’ pressure is also referred to as hydrostatic pressure.


** Other agents causing pressure could be radiation, macroscopic objects impinging on a wall, etc.
9 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering
Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Pressure (cont. )
 Actual pressure at a given position - Absolute pressure
 Most device consider atm. Pressure to be zero.
 Gauge pressure = Absolute pressure – atm. pressure
 Vacuum pressure = atm. Pressure – absolute pressure

10 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering


Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Heat and Work
 Work (W) in mechanics is displacement (d) against a resisting force (F). W = F *d
 Work has units of energy (Joule, J).
 Work can be expansion work (P∆V), electrical work, magnetic work etc. (many sets of stimuli and
their responses).
 Heat as used in TD is a tricky term (yes, it is a very technical term as used in TD).
 “In TD heat is NOT an entity or even a form of energy; heat is a mode of transfer of energy” [1].
 “Heat is the transfer of energy by virtue of a temperature difference” [1].
 “Heat is the name of a process, not the name of an entity” [1].
 “Bodies contain internal energy (U) and not heat” [2].
 The ‘flow’ of energy down a temperature gradient can be treated mathematically by considering heat
as a mass-less fluid [1] → this does not make heat a fluid!

Heat and Work
 Work is coordinated flow of matter.
 Lowering of a weight can do work
 Motion of piston can do work
 Flow of electrons in conductor can do work.
 Heat involves random motion of matter (or the constituent entities of matter).
 Like gas molecules in a gas cylinder
 Water molecules in a cup of water
 Atoms vibrating in a block of Cu.
 Energy may enter the system as heat or work.
 Once inside the system:
 it does not matter how the energy entered the system (i.e. work and heat are terms associated
with the surrounding and once inside the system there is no ‘memory’ of how the input was
received .
 the energy is stored as potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE).
 This energy can be withdrawn as work or heat from the system.

12 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering


Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
State and Equilibrium
 For a system without any change
 All properties can be measured or calculated for the entire system
 These properties define the condition of the system or the STATE
 At a given state all properties have a fixed value.
 Equilibrium
 TD deals with equilibrium states (equilibrium – state is at balance)
 No unbalanced potentials within the system.
 Thermal equilibrium
 Mechanical equilibrium
 Phase equilibrium
 Chemical equilibrium.

13 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering


Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Process
 If the state of a system changes, then it is undergoing a process.
 The succession of states through which the system passes defines the
path of the process.
 if, at the end of the process, the properties have returned to their
original values, the system has undergone a cyclic process or a cycle.
 Note that even if a system has returned to its original state and
completed a cycle, the state of the surroundings may have changed.

14 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering


Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
Quasi-Equilibrium Processes
 We are often interested in charting thermodynamic processes between
states on thermodynamic coordinates.
 however, that properties define a state only when a system is in
equilibrium.
 We idealize that only ``infinitesimal'' unbalanced forces exist.
 For this to be true the process must be slow in relation to the time
needed for the system to come to equilibrium internally.

15 Dr. P. Parthasarathy Departmant of Mechanical Engineering


Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
The state postulate
 State of the system is described by its properties
 Not all properties are needed to fix a state.
 With sufficient number of properties, the other properties can be
identified.
 The min. number of independent properties required to fix a state is
given by State postulate.
 For a simple compressible system the min. number of properties
required is 2.
 Example of independent properties, T and sp. Volume. T & P for single
phase system. For multi phase system T & P are not independent
properties.

Basic Engineering Thermodynamics National Institute of Technology Karnataka
First law of thermodynamics
 Conservation of energy
 In all cases in which work is produced by the agency of heat, a quantity
of heat is consumed which is proportional to the work done; and
conversely, by the expenditure of an equal quantity of work an equal
quantity of heat is produced.
-Rudolf Clausius, 1850
 Change in the internal energy of a closed system is equal to the amount
of heat supplied to the system, plus the amount of work done on the
system.
dU= dQ + dW

 Change in internal energy is not equal to the heat transfer when the
fluid is allowed to expand (or change its volume).

 Some of the energy is given back to the surrounding as expansion


work.

therefore their specific heats depend on temperature only.
 The specific heats of real gases at low pressures are called ideal-gas
specific heats, or zero-pressure specific heats, and are often denoted
cp0and cv0.
 To avoid these laborious calculations, u and h data for a number of
gases have been tabulated over small temperature intervals.
 By using average specific heats.

 Conservation of mass
 For closed systems, the conservation of mass principle is implicitly used
by requiring that the mass of the system remain constant during a process.
 For control volumes, however, mass can cross the boundaries, and so we
must keep track of the amount of mass entering and leaving the control
volume.
