Understanding Thermodynamic Nature of Energy with Professor Subbarao: Macro and Microscopic Energies Explained

1. Thermodynamic Nature of Energy P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department The Root Cause behind All Thermodynamic Actions…..

2. Change in Energy During A Process : Control Mass • Q -W depends only on the initial and final states and not on the path followed between the two states. • Therefore it is the differential of a property of the system. • This property is the energy of the mass and is given the symbol E. • Thus E = Micro Kinetic energy + Micro potential energy +Macro kinetic energy + Macro potential energy + ….. E = Internal energy +Macro kinetic energy + Macro potential energy + …..

13. Microscopic Energy • This energy is defined as the energy associated with the random, disordered motion of molecules and due to intermolecular forces. • It is separated in scale from the macroscopic ordered energy associated with moving or stationary objects; • It refers to the invisible form of energy at atomic and molecular scales. • Popularly known as Internal Energy, U.

14. Internal (Microscopic) Energy : Ideal Gas • Internal energy involves energy at the microscopic scale. • Potential and Kinetic energies of individual molecules/atoms. • But the potential energy is associated with intermolecular forces which are presumed to be zero in an ideal gas. • Therefore the internal energy of an ideal gas is entirely kinetic energy.

15. Internal (Microscopic) Energy : Monatomic Ideal Gas For a monatomic ideal gas this change in internal energy is given by : • For an ideal monatomic gas, this is just the translational kinetic energy of the linear motion of the "hard sphere" type atoms.

16. Internal (Microscopic) Energy : Diatomic Ideal Gas • For polyatomic gases there is rotational and vibrational kinetic energy as well.

18. Internal (Microscopic) Energy : Other Substances • For real gases, liquids and solids the internal energy is the sum of kientic and potential energies associated with the intermolecular attractive forces.
