3. Sec 5.1: Introducing the Second Law The First Law of Thermodynamics in an energy balance and tells us the magnitudes energy flows. It does not say anything about the spontaneous direction. Qout Qin Can we spontaneously cool the refrigerator by removing heat from the environment? Can we spontaneously heat the house by removing heat from the environment?

4. Sec 5.1: Introducing the Second Law We know intuitively, that the spontaneous direction for heat flow is from warm to cold. Qin Qout The fridge will warm. The house will cool. • If TA > TB TA = TB. But, we have refrigeration and heating, so what is required to change the direction of heat flow? • Work needs to be done to move in the non-spontaneous direction

5. Sec 5.1: Introducing the Second Law

6. Sec 5.1: Introducing the Second Law The Second Law of Thermodynamics answers the following • Which direction the process will move spontaneously? • What is equilibrium? • What is the maximum efficiency? • What parameters can be changed to move closer to the maximum efficiency? • What is temperature? • How can we measure u and h? Since the Second Law answers all these questions, there is not a single statement of the second law. Popular forms of the Second Law include: • Everything degrades to chaos • No perpetual motion machine

7. Sec 5.2: Statements of the Second Law Q Clausius Statement: “It is impossible for any system to operate in such a way that the sole result would be an energy transfer by heat from a colder to a hotter body.” Kelvin-Planck Statement “It is impossible for any system to operate in a thermodynamic cycle and deliver a net amount of energy by work to its surroundings while receiving heat transfer from a single thermal reservoir.” Thermal Reservoir: A body where energy exchange as heat does not effect the temperature. Kelvin-Planck Statement tells us that It is not possible to convert heat completely to work.

8. Sec 5.2: Statements of the Second Law Entropy Statement: “It is impossible for any system to operate in a way that entropy is destroyed.” • [ ] • [ ] • [ ] Net entropy transferred into the system entropy within system • Entropy generated with system = + Note: Entropy can be generated (unlike mass) ( + 0 - ) ( + 0 - ) ( + or 0 ) Most processes do not operate at Ssys= 0, so generally, Ssys 

10. Problem 5: 3 Classify the following processes of a closed system as possible, impossible, or indeterminate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entropy change Entropy transfer Entropy production

11. Sec 5.2: Statements of the Second Law An alternate way of looking at Entropy: Entropy, S, is a measure of the Disorder within a system

12. Sec 5.3: Identifying Irreversibility Reversible process: Both the system and surroundings can be returned to the initial state. Sand Sand Sand Rock Gas Gas Gas Gas One grain of sand is removed. The grain of sand is replaced. Irreversible process: System and surroundings cannot be returned to the original state. Remove rock Irreversibility can be internal to the system external to the system

13. Sec 5.3: Identifying Irreversibilities Typical sources of irreversibility: • Heat transfer due to a T • Unrestricted expansion • Spontaneous chemical reaction • Friction • Electric current producing heat due to resistance • Process with hysteresis • Inelastic deformation. • Elastic hysteresis of an idealized rubber band. The area in the centre of the hysteresis loop is the energy dissipated as heat Since we cannot avoid all non-idealities, most of the time a real process is irreversible. In this class we are looking for the theoretical maximum, so we will model most processes as reversible.

14. Sec 5.4: Interpreting the Kelvin-Planck Statement Kelvin-Planck Statement “It is impossible for any system to operate in a thermodynamic cycle and deliver a net amount of energy by work to its surroundings while receiving heat transfer from a single thermal reservoir.” For a single reservoir: < 0 : Internal irreversibility present = 0 : No internal irreversibility The inequality (<) is associated with irreversibility with the system W

15. Sec 5.6: Second Law Aspects of Power Cycles • Efficiency of a Power Cycle interacting with two reservoirs. If QC 0, then η 1.0 = 100% Second Law statements for power cycles (Carnot Corollaries): • The thermal efficiency of an irreversible power cycle is always less than the thermal efficiency of a reversible power cycle when each operates between the same two thermal reservoirs. • All reversible power cycles operating between the same two thermal reservoirs have the same maximum thermal efficiency.

16. Sec 5.7: Second Law Aspects of Refrigeration and Heat Pumps COP of refrigeration and heat pumps cycles interacting with two reservoirs • As WCycle 0, then  and  ∞ Such an arrangement would violate the Clausius Statement. Second Law statements for refrigeration: • The coefficient of performancee of an irreversible refrigeration cycle is always less than the coefficient of performance of a reversible refrigeration cycle when each operates between the same two thermal reservoirs. • All reversible refrigeration cycles operating between the same two thermal reservoirs have the same maximum coefficient of performance.

17. Sec 5.8: Temperature Scales The Celsius Temperature Scale: 0°C freezing point of water (at 1 atm) • 100°C boiling point of water (at 1 atm) The Fahrenheit Temperature Scale: 0°F freezing point of water & NaCl solution (at 1 atm) • 100°F average normal human body temperature (at 1 atm) It is desirable to have a scale that is not dependent on a single substance. Phase changes of many substances allows extension of the scale based on properties

19. Sec 5.8.2: Gas Thermometer Gas Thermometer: Used instead of liquid since it will not change phase over a large range of temperatures. Use equation of state to relate T p

20. Sec 5.8: Temperature Scales The driving force for heat transfer is a T • This causes a heat transfer Q  T Choose Thus The ratio of the temperatures is equal to the ratio of the heat rejected and the heat absorbed. Used to define the Kelvin temperature scale.

22. Sec 5.9 : Maximum Performance With For a reversible cycle The Carnot efficiency • increaseTH • decrease TC To increaseη • Thus, ideally we want to maximize T = (TH - TC) • TH – limited by equipment costs • (high p and high T)

23. Sec 5.9 : Maximum Performance • Typically, the cold reservoir is the atmosphere and large bodies of water and thus TC = 298 K, since it will cost too much to use a refrigerated reservoir. • What is the maximum efficiency of a power cycle operating between • TH = 745 K • and TC = 298 K

24. Sec 5.9 : Maximum Performance Example: (5.19) A power cycle operating at steady state receives energy by heat transfer at a rate of QH at TH=1000 K and rejects energy by heat transfer to a cold reservoir at a rate QC at TC = 300 K. For each of the following cases, determine whether the cycle operates reversibly, irreversibly, or is impossible. Max system efficiency: • a) QH = 500 kW, QC=100 kW • b) QH = 500 kW, Wcycle = 250 kW, • and QC = 200 kW Impossible: ηa > ηmax Impossible • c) Wcycle = 350 kW, QC = 150 kW • d) QH = 500 kW, QC = 200 kW Reversible: ηc = ηmax Irreversible: ηa < ηmax

25. Sec 5.9 : Maximum Performance • Example: (5.63) The refrigerator shown in the figure operates at steady state with a coefficient of performance of 4.5 and a power input of 0.8 kW. Energy is rejected from the refrigerator to the surroundings at 20°C by heat transfer from the metal coils whose average surface temperature is 28°C. Determine TH= 20°C= 293 K • The rate energy is rejected, in kW • The lowest theoretical temperature within the refrigerator, in K • The maximum theoretical power, in kW, that could be developed from a power cycle operating between the coils and surroundings. W=0.8kW TC= ? =4.5

TH= 28°C= 301 K From part a) the rejected heat is W=? Maximum Possible Power Cycle Efficiency: Note: Such a power cycle would operate between reservoir temperatures of 20 oC and 28 oC. TH= 20°C= 293 K Solve for possible Work done:
