THERMODYNAMICS
Etymology
• therme (heat) and dynamis (power)
• indicates the early efforts to convert heat into power
Modern definition
“the science of the relationship between heat, work,
temperature, and energy, and also including the associated
properties of matter.”
• In broad terms, thermodynamics deals with the transfer of energy
from one place to another and from one form to another
3
APPLICATIONS
Both in the natural world and in the engineered systems, interactions between energy and matter are almost always involved.

THERMODYNAMIC SYSTEMS
System: A quantity of matter or a region in space
chosen for study.
Surroundings: The mass or region outside the
system.
Boundary: The surface separating the system
from its surroundings.
• Mathematically speaking, the boundary has zero
thickness, and thus it can neither contain any
mass nor occupy any volume in space.
• Types of boundaries: fixed, movable, real, and
imaginary.

Types of Properties
• Intensive properties are those that are independent of the mass of a
system, such as temperature T, pressure P, and density ρ.
• Generally, lowercase letters are used to denote intensive properties
(with pressure P and temperature T being the exceptions).
• Extensive properties are the mass-dependent properties. Their values
depend on the size—or extent—of the system. For example, total mass,
total volume and total momentum.
• Generally, uppercase letters are used to denote extensive properties
(with mass m being a major exception).
• Extensive properties per unit mass are called specific properties
• e.g., specific volume (v=V/m) and specific total energy (e= E/m).
• Note: specific properties are intensive properties.

CRITERION TO DIFFERENTIATE INTENSIVE
AND EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES
8
m m = 10 kg
V V = 2 m3
T T = 15 oC
P P = 100 Pa
ρ ρ = 5 kg/m3
v v = 0.2 m3/kg
9
DENSITY vs. SPECIFIC VOLUME
Density is defined as mass per unit volume:
Density = ρ = m/V (kg/m3)
Specific volume is the reciprocal of density, which is
defined as volume per unit mass:
Specific volume = v = V/m = 1/ ρ

THERMODYNAMIC STATE
State: A thermodynamic state of a system is its condition, at a specific
time, that is completely described by values of a suitable set of
properties.
• Simply speaking, the state of a system is defined by its properties.
• At a given state, all the properties of a system have fixed values.
• If the value of even one property changes, the state will change to a
different one.
Question: How to identify properties suitable to describe a state? & How many?
12
CRITERIA TO DETERMINE THE PROPERTIES REQUIRED TO
DESCRIBE THE STATE OF A SYSTEM
• The state of a system is described by its properties.
• Specifying a certain number of properties is sufficient to fix
(describe) a state (we do not need to specify all the properties)
• Once a sufficient number of properties are specified, the rest of
the properties assume certain values automatically.
• Dimensions
• Fundamental dimensions vs. derived dimensions
• Units
• Metric system vs. English system
• Dimensional Homogeneity
• Unity Conversion Ratios
