Physics For Technical Students I: Chapter 18 & 19: Heat and Work Idea Gases

This document discusses key concepts from chapters 18 and 19 of a physics textbook: 1) The first law of thermodynamics relates changes in internal energy of a system to heat and work. Internal energy increases with heat added or work done on a system, and decreases with heat removed or work done by the system. 2) Ideal gases obey the ideal gas law, which relates pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles or particles of gas. The ideal gas law takes on two common forms: pv=nRT and pv=NkT. 3) Kinetic theory provides a microscopic model to explain macroscopic gas behavior. It describes an ideal gas as particles in random motion that

Chapter 18 & 19:


Heat and work
Idea gases
The First Law of Thermodynamics
Eint = sum total of the energy of particles (molecules/atoms) in system
Internal Energy or Thermal Energy

Eint (increases) if work done to system or heat added to system

Eint (decreases) if work done by system or heat taken from system

Although W and Q are path-dependent, Eint is not.

1) Eint ?
2) Work done by gas?
Work and Heat are NOT CONSERVATIVE: depends on path
3) Heat transferred?
Eint does NOT depend on path !!

NET WORK, Wnet, done by


system during a complete cycle is
shaded area. It can be pos., neg,
or zero depending on path. Around a closed cycle
Eint is zero.
Special cases of First Law of Thermodynamics
E int E int,f E int,i Q W
1) Adiabatic processes - NO TRANSFER OF ENERGY AS HEAT Q = 0
a) rapid expansion of gasses in piston - no time for heat to be transferred
b) if work is done by system (W>0), then Eint decreases

c) NOTE: temperature changes!!
E int W adiabatic
V f Vi
2) Constant-volume processes (isochoric)- NO WORK IS DONE W=0
a) if heat is absorbed, the internal energy increases Wby pdV 0
Vi
b) NOTE: temperature changes!!
E int Q
3) Cyclical process (closed cycle) Eint,closed cycle =0
a) net area in p-V curve is Q
Eint 0 Q W

4) Free Expansion : adiabatic process with no transfer of heat
a) happens suddenly
b) no work done against vacuum E int Q W 0
c) non-thermal equilibrium process

5) Isothermal: Temperature does not change Well talk about this later

Sample Problem 18-5
Let 1.0 kg of liquid at 100C be converted to steam at 100C by boiling
at twice atmospheric pressure (2 atm) as shown. The volume of the
water changes from an initial value of 1.010-3 m3 as a liquid to 1.671 m3
as a gas.

Here, energy is transferred from the thermal reservoir as heat until the
liquid water is changed completely to steam. Work is done by the expanding
gas as it lifts the loaded piston against a constant atmospheric pressure.

More Example
18-43: Gas within a closed chamber undergoes the cycle shown in
the p-V diagram. Calculate the net energy added to the system as
heat (Q) during on complete cycle.

In one complete cycle, Eint,cycle = 0 so Q=W. To find Q, calculate W!

IDEAL GAS LAW

n = number of moles N = number of particles


k = 1.3810-23 J/K
pV = nRT R = 8.315 J/(molK)
= 0.0821 (Latm)/(molK)
pV = NkT R = kNA = 1.99 calories/(molK)

Monoatomic ideal gas : He, Ar, Ne, Kr (no potential energies)

E int,monotonic N 32 kT 32 nRT
The internal energy
of an ideal gas depends
E int,monotonic 32 nRT only on the temperature
Avogadros Number
One mole is the number of atoms in 12 g sample of carbon-12

C(12)6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons


12 atomic units of mass assuming mP=mn

NA=6.02 x 1023 mol-1

Another way to do this is


So the number of moles n is given by to know the mass of one
n=N/NA molecule: then
N=M(sample)/mNA
Ideal Gases, Ideal Gas Law pV nRT pV NkT
It was found experimentally that if 1 mole of any gas is placed in containers that
have the same volume V and are kept at the same temperature T , approximately all
have the same pressure p. The small differences in pressure disappear if lower gas
densities are used.

Further experiments showed that all low-density gases obey the equation pV nRT .
Here R 8.31 K/mol K and is known as the "gas constant." The equation itself is
known as the "ideal gas law." The constant R can be expressed as R kN A .
Here k is called the Boltzmann constant and is equal to 1.38 10-23 J/K.

N
If we substitute R as well as n in the ideal gas law we get the equivalent form:
NA
pV NkT . Here N is the number of molecules in the gas.

The behavior of all real gases approaches that of an ideal gas at low enough densities.
Low densities means that the gas molecules are far enough apart that they do not
interact with one another, but only with the walls of the gas container.
