Sakshi Thermodynamics

This document discusses key concepts in thermodynamics including: 1) Thermodynamics deals with the transport of heat during physical or chemical changes, but not the total energy of a system. 2) The laws of thermodynamics apply only to bulk matter and not individual atoms/molecules, and can predict if a process is feasible but not the rate. 3) Key terms include system, surroundings, boundary, open/closed/isolated systems, intensive/extensive properties, state functions, thermodynamic processes, work, and heat.

It deals with transport of heat either as a result of physical change or

chemical change. But it is not concerned with the total energy of the body
but only with energy changes taking place during the transformation.

Limitations of Thermodynamics

The laws of thermodynamics applies It can only predict the feasibility or


only to the matter in bulk, i.e., spontaneity of a process under a
macroscopic system and not to given set of conditions but does not
individual atoms or molecules of the tell anything about the rate at which
macroscopic system. the given process may proceed.

System, Surrounding,
Boundary and Universe
• A System is defined as a specified part of
the Universe which is under experimental
investigation and the rest of the universe,
i.e., all other matter which can interact
with the system , is Surroundings.
• Anything which separates system and
Surrounding is called Boundary. This
boundary may be real or imaginary, it may
be rigid or non-rigid, conductor or a non-
conductor of heat.
• Diathermic wall- when boundary is
conductor of heat.
• Adiabatic wall- when boundary is non-
conductor of heat.

Nature of Work and Heat

Work is a mode of energy transfer to or from a system with reference to the


surroundings.
Work done on the system, W= +ve
Work done by the system ,W = -ve
Heat may be defined as the quantity of energy which flows between a system and
its surroundings on account of temperature difference.
Heat flowing into the system , ∆H= +ve
Heat flowing out of the system , ∆H= -ve
