Internal Energy, Heat & WorkInternal Energy, Heat & Work

Heat is defined as the transfer of energy across the boundary of a system due to a temperature difference between the system and its surroundings.

Energy can also be transferred to or from the system by work.

Internal energy is all the energy of a system that is associated with its microscopic components —atoms and molecules —when viewed from a reference frame at rest with respect to the object.

Mechanical Equivalence of HeatMechanical Equivalence of Heat

The amount of energy transfer necessary to raise the temperature of 1 g of water from 14.5oC to 15.5oC.

Specific HeatSpecific Heat

Note: Last time we defined molar specific heat. In physics, we also use specific heat per particle.

A cowboy fires a silver bullet with a mass of 2 g and with a muzzle speed of 200 m/s into the pine wall of a saloon. Assume that all the internal energy generated by the impactremains with the bullet. What is the temperature change of the bullet?

The work done by a gas in the expansion from an initial state to a final state is the area under the curve connecting the states in a PV diagram.

Warning:Warning: Sign Convention Sign Convention

Historically, people are interested in the amount of work done by the expansion of gas, say, to drive a steam engine. The common treatment is

– Positive work: gas expands– Negative work: gas compressed

In mechanics we use the opposite sign, unfortunately.

But some books follow the same convention in thermal physics as in mechanics.

Trust your common sense!

The work done by a system depends on the initial, final, and intermediate states of the system.

• The gas does work on the piston

• Energy is transferred slowly to the gas

An energy reservoiris a source of energy that is considered to be so great that a finite transfer of energy from the reservoir does not change its temperature.

• No heat or energy is transferred

• The value of the work done is zero

Energy transfer by heat, like work done, depends on the initial, final, and intermediate states of the system.

The 1st Law of ThermodynamicsThe 1st Law of Thermodynamics

Although Q and W both depend on the path, the quantity Q-W is independent of the path change.

The change in the internal energy U of the system can be expressed as:

The infinitesimal change:

reminding you that it is path dependent

Discussion on the 1st LawDiscussion on the 1st Law

The 1st law is a statement of energy conservation (now with the internal energy included).

The internal energy of an isolated system remains constant. In a cyclic process,

– The net work done by the systemper cycle equals the area enclosed by the path representing the process on a PV diagram.

WQU ,0

Discussion on the 1st LawDiscussion on the 1st Law

On a microscopic scale, no distinction exists between the result of heat and that of work.

The internal energy function is therefore called a state function, whose value is determined by the state of the system.

Digression on Multivariate CalculusDigression on Multivariate Calculus

If we take energy and volume as parameters, how comes heat is path dependent?

In mathematical language, dU + pdV is an inexact differential.

– In multivariate calculus, a differential is said to be exact (or perfect), as contrasted with an inexact differential, if it is of the form dQ, for some differentiable function Q.
