  1. AP Physics Chapter 15 The Laws of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the study of processes in which energy is transferred as heat and as work. A system is an object or set of objects to be considered. A closed system is where no mass enters or leaves a system. Open systems can lose or gain mass to the environment. An isolated system is a closed system where no energy crosses the system boundary.

  2. 15-1 The First Law of Thermodynamics • DU=Q – W • The first law of thermodynamics is a statement of the conservation of energy law. • See Example 15-1 p444

  3. 15-2 First Law of Thermodynmics Applied to Some Simple Systems • An isothermal process that is conducted with a constant temperature. • Isotherms are lines of equal temperature… see page 445. • A heat reservoir is a location of heat so large that it provides a isothermal environment. • Adiabatic processes allow no heat energy to flow into or out of the system.

  4. 15-2 (cont’d) • An isobaric process is one in which pressure is kept constant. • An Isochoric or isovolumetric process is one in which volume is held constant. • See Conceptual Examples 15-2 and 15-3 p447. • See Example 15-4, 15-5, and 15-6 p448.

  5. 15-3 Human metabolism…the 1st Law • Metabolism is the name given to the energy producing and using reactions in living things. • DU=Q – W • See Example 15-7

  6. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics • …Heat flows from a hot object to a cold object; heat will not flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot object. • A heat engine is any device that changes thermal energy into mechanical work.

  7. 15-5 Heat Engines • QH=W + QL …where QH is the heat input, W is work, and QL is heat exhausted… all positive in value. (See diagram p 451) • Temperature difference is required to run an engine. • Effieciency… • e=W/QH=(QH-QL)/QH= 1-(QL/QH) • See Example 15-8 p453

  8. 15-5 (cont’d) • Sadi Carnot (1796-1832) examined the ideal engine, now called a Carnot engine…the process of heat addition and exhaust were done reversibly, so that the process was considered a series of equilibrium states… real processes are actually irreversible. • eideal= (TH-TL)/TH= 1- (TL/TH) • See Example 15-9 p 454

  9. HOMEWORK… • P471 pr#1-3, 5-8, 14-16, 17-20 due next BOP
