Introduction to
Thermodynamics
• Thermodynamic Systems
•Properties of a system
•Thermodynamic state
• Thermodynamic Equilibrium

THERMODYNAMICS
Etymology
• therme (heat) and dynamis (power)
• indicates the early efforts to convert heat into power

Thermodynamics was the driving intellectual force behind


the industrial revolution.

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.
4
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 SYSTEMS
Closed System
Closed System Open System
(isolated)
Also known as Control mass Isolated system Control volume
Mass flow
Energy flow
Piston-cylinder Compressor,
Example Thermos flask
device turbine, nozzle

Engineering problems mostly involve mass flow, and therefore, mostly


modelled as control volumes.
• The boundaries of a control volume are called a control surface.
6
PROPERTIES OF A SYSTEM
Property: Any characteristic of a system, e.g., pressure P, temperature
T, volume V, and mass m.

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.

7
CRITERION TO DIFFERENTIATE INTENSIVE
AND EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES

• Divide the system into two


equal parts with an imaginary
partition.

• Each part will have the:


• same value of intensive properties
as the original system
• but half the value of the extensive
properties

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

T T T = 15 oC

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.

• The number of properties required to fix the state of a


system is given by the state postulate:
“The state of a simple compressible system is completely
specified by two independent, intensive properties.”
A system is called a simple Two properties are independent if
compressible system in the one property can be varied while
absence of electrical, magnetic, the other one is held constant.

nitrogen is fixed
• These effects are due to external independent properties, and by two

THERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
“THERMODYNAMICS DEALS WITH EQUILIBRIUM STATES”
Thermodynamic Equilibrium: It is that condition of a thermodynamic system in
which the properties do not change with time and that can be changed to another
condition only at the expense of effects on other systems.
• In thermodynamic equilibrium there are no net macroscopic flows of matter or of
energy, either within a system or between systems.
• The word equilibrium implies a state of balance.
• At equilibrium, there are no unbalanced potentials (or driving forces) within the
system.
• A system in equilibrium experiences no changes when it is isolated from its
surroundings.
Types of Equilibriums
• Thermal Equilibrium: If the temperature is same throughout the entire system.
• Mechanical Equilibrium: If there is no change in pressure at any point of the
system with time.
• Phase equilibrium: If a system involves two phases and the mass of each phase
reaches an equilibrium level and stays there.
• Chemical Equilibrium: If the chemical composition of the system does not change
with time, that is, no chemical reactions occur.

“A system will not be in thermodynamic equilibrium unless the


conditions of all the relevant types of equilibrium (e.g., thermal,
mechanical, chemical, etc.) are simultaneously satisfied.”
