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.

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

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 = ∞.

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:

Carnot Theorem Proof

Let’s prove it from the contrary: let’s have Carnot

engine A to be more efficient than Carnot engine B, they run together, engine B is operating in reverse. We adjust A to take Qh and B to give the same

Qh to the hot reservoir Th. Thus we get QcB – QcA=ΔW. It means that we take energy from cold reservoir to produce work ΔW. But it violates the second law of thermodynamics.

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.
Слайд 19

So for infinitesimal changes: The subscript r on the quantity dQr

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

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
ΔS=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:
Слайд 24

- This expression demonstrates that ΔS 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.
- ΔS can be positive or negative
- For a cyclic process (Ti= Tf, Vi = Vf), ΔS=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:
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

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.
