Irreversibility of processes There exist many processes that are irreversible: the net transfer of energy by heat is always from the warmer object to the cooler object, never from the cooler to the warmer an oscillating pendulum eventually comes to rest because of collisions with air molecules and friction. The mechanical energy of the system converted to internal energy in the air, the pendulum, and the suspension; the reverse conversion of energy never occurs.

Heat Engines A heat engine is a device that takes in energy by heat and, operating in a cyclic process, expels a fraction of that energy by means of work. Weng – work done by the heat engine Qh – heat, entering the engine. Qc - energy, leaving the engine.

Thermal Efficiency of a Heat Engine Good Automobile engine efficiency is about 20% Diesel engine efficiency is about 35%-40%

Heat Pumps or Refrigerators In a heat engine a fraction of heat from the hot reservoir is used to perform work. In a refrigerator or a heat pump work is used to take heat from the cold reservoir and directed to the hot reservoir.

Refrigerator W – work done on the heat pump Qh – heat, put into the hot reservoir. Qc - heat, taken from the cold reservoir.

Coefficient of performance of a refrigerator The effectiveness of a refrigerator is described in terms of a number called the coefficient of performance (COP). COP = Qc /(Qh - Qc) = Qc /W Good refrigerate COP is about 5-6.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics The Kelvin form: It is impossible to construct a cyclic engine that converts thermal energy from a body into an equivalent amount of mechanical work without a further change in its surroundings. Thus it says that for a heat engine it’s impossible for QC=0, or heat engine efficiency e=100%.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics The Clausius form: It is impossible to construct a cyclic engine which only effect is to transfer thermal energy from a colder body to a hotter body. Thus for refrigerator it’s impossible that W=0, or COP = .

Carnot Efficiency Using the equation of state and the first law of thermodynamics we can easily find that (look Servay p.678; Fishbane p.581): Let’s prove it: During the isothermal expansion (process A → B), the work done by a gas during an isothermal process:

So, the work done on a gas during an isothermal process A → B is: So, the work done on a gas during an isothermal process A → B is: (1) Similarly, for isothermal C → D: (2) Deviding (2) over (1): (3)

For adiabatic processes: For adiabatic processes: So, statement (3) gives us:

So, using the last expression and the expression for efficiency: So, using the last expression and the expression for efficiency: Thus we have proved that the Carnot Efficiency equals Carnot Engine does not depend on the use of the ideal gas as a working substance. Carnot Engine is Reversible – it can be used as a refrigerator or heat pump. Carnot Cycle is the most efficient cycle for given two temperatures Th and Tc.

Carnot theorem The Carnot engine is the most efficient engine possible that operates between any two given temperatures. (look Servay p.675; Fishbane p.584)

Carnot Theorem Proof

Entropy Measures the amount of disorder in thermal system. It is a function of state, and only changes in entropy have physical significance. Entropy changes are path independent. Another statement of the Second Law of Thermodynamics: The total entropy of an isolated system that undergoes a change cannot decrease. For infinitesimal changes:

Entropy change calculations Entropy is a state variable, the change in entropy during a process depends only on the end points and therefore is independent of the actual path followed. Consequently the entropy change for an irreversible process can be determined by calculating the entropy change for a reversible process that connects the same initial and final states.

So for infinitesimal changes: So for infinitesimal changes: The subscript r on the quantity dQr means that the transferred energy is to be measured along a reversible path, even though the system may actually have followed some irreversible path. When energy is absorbed by the system, dQr is positive and the entropy of the system increases. When energy is expelled by the system, dQr is negative and the entropy of the system decreases. Thus, it’s possible to choose a particular reversible path over which to evaluate the entropy in place of the actual path, as long as the initial and final states are the same for both paths.

Change of Entropy in a Carnot Cycle Carnot engine operates between the temperatures Tc and Th. In one cycle, the engine takes in energy Qh from the hot reservoir and expels energy Qc to the cold reservoir. These energy transfers occur only during the isothermal portions of the Carnot cycle thus the constant temperature can be brought out in front of the integral sign in expression Thus, the total change in entropy for one cycle is

Reversibility of Carno Cycle Using equality, proved for the Carnot Cycle (slide N13): We eventually find that in Carno Cycle: S=0

Reversible Cycle Now consider a system taken through an arbitrary (non-Carnot) reversible cycle. Because entropy is a state variable —and hence depends only on the properties of a given equilibrium state —we conclude that S=0 for any reversible cycle. In general, we can write this condition in the mathematical form the symbol indicates that the integration is over a closed path.

Ideal Gas Reversible Process Suppose that an ideal gas undergoes a quasi-static, reversible process from an initial state Ti, Vi to a final state Tf, Vf . 1st law of thermodynamics: dQr = ΔU + W, Work: W=pdV, Internal Energy change: ΔU=nCvdT, (n – moles number) Equation of state for an Ideal Gas: P=nRT/V, Thus: dQr = nCvdT + nRTdV/V Then, dividing the last equation by T, and integrating we get the next formula:

- This expression demonstrates that S depends only on the initial and final states and is independent of the path between the states. The only claim is for the path to be reversible. -S can be positive or negative - For a cyclic process (Ti= Tf, Vi = Vf), S=0. This is further evidence that entropy is a state variable.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics The total entropy of an isolated system that undergoes a change cannot decrease. If the process is irreversible, then the total entropy of an isolated system always increases. In a reversible process, the total entropy of an isolated system remains constant.

Microscopic States Every macrostate can be realized by a number of microstates. Each molecule occupies some microscopic volume Vm. The total number of possible locations of a single molecule in a macroscopic volume V is the ratio w =V/Vm. Number w represents the number of ways that the molecule can be placed in the volume, or the number of microstates, which is equivalent to the number of available locations. If there are N molecules in volume V, then there are W = wN = (V /Vm)N microstates, corresponding to N molecules in volume V.

Entropy on a Microscopic Scale Let’s have an ideal gas expanding from Vi to Vf. Then the numbers of microscopic states are: For initial state: Wi = wiN = (Vi /Vm)N . For final state: Wf = wfN = (Vf /Vm)N . Now let’s find their ratio: So we canceled unknown Vm.

After further transformations: After further transformations: n – number of moles, R=kbNa. Then we use the equation for isothermal expansion (look Servay, p.688): Using the expression from the previous slide we get:

Entropy is a measure of Disorder The more microstates there are that correspond to a given macrostate, the greater is the entropy of that macrostate. Thus, this equation indicates mathematically that entropy is a measur measure of disorder. Although in our discussion we used the specific example of the free expansion of an ideal gas, a more rigorous development of the statistical interpretation of entropy would lead us to the same conclusion.
