Molecular Model of an Ideal Gas

The macroscopic description of model of

ideal gas make the following assumptions:
1. The number of molecules in the gas is large, and the average separation between them is large compared with their dimensions.
2. The molecules obey Newton’s laws of motion, but as a whole they move randomly.
3. The molecules interact only by short-range forces during elastic collisions.
4. The molecules make elastic collisions with the walls.
5. The gas under consideration is a pure substance; that is, all molecules are identical.

The Boltzmann distribution law, is important

in describing the statistical mechanics of a large number of molecules. It states that the probability of finding the molecules in a particular energy state varies exponentially as the negative of the energy divided by kBT.

Heat Engines and the Second Law of Thermodynamics A heat engine

Heat Engines and the Second Law
of Thermodynamics

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.

The net work Weng done by a heat engine is equal to the net energy Qnet transferred to it.

Слайд 24

On the basis of the fact that efficiencies of real engines

are well below 100%, the Kelvin–Planck form of the second law of thermodynamics states the following:

Heat Engines and the Second Law
of Thermodynamics

It is impossible to construct a heat engine that, operating in a cycle, produces no effect other than the input of energy by heat from a reservoir and the performance of an equal amount of work.

Heat Pumps and Refrigerators

The Clausius statement states:

It is impossible to construct

a cyclical machine whose sole effect is to transfer energy continuously by heat from one object to another object at a higher temperature without the input of energy by work.

In simpler terms, energy does not transfer spontaneously by heat from a cold object to a hot object.

The effectiveness of a heat pump is described in terms of a number called the coefficient of performance (COP).

Reversible and Irreversible Processes

In a reversible process, the system undergoing the

process can be returned to its initial conditions along the same path on a PV diagram, and every point along this path is an equilibrium state. A process that does not satisfy these requirements is irreversible.

The Carnot Engine

French engineer named Sadi Carnot showed that a heat

engine operating in an ideal, reversible cycle— called a Carnot cycle—between two energy reservoirs is the most efficient engine possible.

Carnot’s theorem can be stated as follows:

No real heat engine operating between two energy reservoirs can be more efficient than a Carnot engine operating between the same two reservoirs.

Entropy

Isolated systems tend toward disorder and that entropy is a measure

of this disorder.

We distinguish between microstates and macrostates of a system. A microstate is a particular configuration of the individual constituents of the system.
Macrostate is a description of the conditions of the system from a macroscopic point of view and makes use of macroscopic variables such as pressure, density, and temperature for gases.

Because entropy is a measure of disorder, an alternative way of stating this is the entropy of the Universe increases in all real processes.

Entropy

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.
