Temperature
& Thermal
Equilibrium
Zeroth Law of
Thermodynamics

If objects A and B are separately in thermal equilibrium with a third object C,


then A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Thermal Expansion

a cavity in a piece of material


expands in the same way as if the
cavity were filled with the material

: average coefficient of linear expansion


ß : average coefficient of volume expansion
Water and Its Anomaly
Heat and Internal Energy
• Internal energy is all the energy of a system that is
associated with its microscopic components—atoms
and molecules—when viewed from a reference
frame at rest with respect to the center of mass of the
system.
• Heat is defined as the transfer of energy across the
boundary of a system due to a temperature
difference between the system and its
surroundings
The Absorption of Heat by Solids
and Liquids: Specific Heat Capacity
• Heat capacity C → proportionality constant between the
heat Q that the object absorbs or loses and the resulting
temperature change ΔT of the object;

• Specific heat ("heat capacity per unit mass") refers to a


unit mass of the material of which the object is made.


When no change in temperature
• Heat of transformation/latent heat: the amount of
energy per unit mass that must be transferred as heat
when a sample completely undergoes a phase change

Heat and Work
Quasi-static (slow) process

A system can be taken from a given


initial state to a given final state by an
infinite number of processes. Heat may
or may not be involved, and in general,
the work and the heat will have
different values for different processes.
We say that heat and work are path-
dependent quantities.
First Law of
Thermodynamics
Δ = , − , = −
= −

The internal energy of a system tends to increase if


energy is added as heat and tends to decrease if
energy is lost as work done by the system.
1. Adiabatic processes
• process is one that occurs
so rapidly
• occurs in a system that is
so well insulated
 no transfer of energy as
heat occurs between the
system and its
environment.

Δ =−
2. Constant volume processes
• volume of a system (such as a gas) is held constant
• system can do no work

Δ =
3. Cyclical processes
• after certain interchanges of heat and work, the system is
restored to its initial state.
• no intrinsic property of the system-including its internal
energy-can possibly change

=
4. Free expansions
• Adiabatic processes
 no transfer of heat
occurs between the
system and its
environment and
 no work is done on or by
the system.

Δ =0
