Thermodynamic Property:

Any characteristic of a system is called a property.

Intensive Properties : It is the property of a system that is


Independent on mass of system.
Ex:-Density, Viscosity Pressure, Temperature etc.

Extensive Properties : It is a property of a system that is


Dependent on mass of system.
Ex:- Mass, Moles, Volume, Energy (Enthalpy, Internal
Energy) etc.
Prof. Anand Kulkarni, Cambridge Institute of Technology
16
Bengaluru.

Divide the system into two equal


parts with an imaginary partition, as
shown in. Each part will have the
same value of intensive properties
as the original system, but half the
value of the extensive properties.

Fig:- Criterion to differentiate intensive and


extensive properties.
Prof. Anand Kulkarni, Cambridge Institute of Technology Bengaluru.
18

 UPPER letters are used to denote extensive properties (with


mass m being a major exception).
Example :-Volume (V),Internal Energy (U) and Enthalpy (H).

 lowercase letters are used for intensive properties (with


pressure P and temperature T being the obvious exceptions).
Example :- Density(𝜌),Viscosity (μ).

Prof. Anand Kulkarni, Cambridge Institute of Technology Bengaluru.


Specific Properties :Extensive properties per unit mass. 19

time is called as state. The state of the system is described by certain
macroscopic properties like pressure, temperature, volume etc.

series of thermodynamic states that a
system passes through as it goes from an
initial state to a final state.

Advantages of Single fixed point method over Two fixed point method: 48

Advantages of Single fixed point method

Since 1954, only Triple point of water point has been chosen as a fixed point.
1. The temperature of the triple point of water, which is easily reproducible state.
2. Triple point of water is constant at pressure.

Limitations of Two fixed point method

Before 1954, boiling and ice point of water point has been chosen as two fixed
point.
1. The difficulty of achieving equilibrium between ice-water(since when melts,
water is covered by ice).
2. The ice and boiling points are extremely sensitive to the change in pressure.
