    The document discusses the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form through work and heat transfer. It also defines the sign conventions for heat and work. The second law states that the entropy of the universe increases in spontaneous processes and remains unchanged in equilibrium processes. It introduces entropy as a measure of disorder or randomness in a system.

    FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

     State that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only change the
    form and type through work and heat

    Equation

    Where

    q= heat transfer into/ out of the system

    w= work done by/ on the system

    Sign Convention For Heat

    qsys < 0 = heat transfer from system surrounding

    qsys > 0 = heat transfer from surrounding system

    Sign Convention For Work

    wsys < 0 = work done from system surrounding

    wsys > 0 = work done from surrounding system

    Example of Application

    Isochoric

     Volume constant ( )

    Isobaric

     Pressure constant,

    Adiabatic
     No heat transfer,

    Diabatic/ Diathermic

    Isothermal

     Temperature constant, ( )

    2nd Law Of Thermodynamics

     State that the entropy of the universe increases in a spontaneous


    process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process

    Equation

    For Spontaneous Process

    Entropy

     Entropy ( S ) is a measurement of disorder or


    randomness of a system
    The greater the dispersal,the greater the
    entropy

     Entropy changes =
     Unit =J/k @ J/K.mol¯¹ (molar entropy)
