16-1 Temperature and the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

Definition of heat:

Heat is the energy transferred between objects because of a temperature difference.

Objects are in thermal contact if heat can flow Objects are in thermal contact if heat can flow between them.

When the transfer of heat between objects in thermal contact ceases, they are in thermal equilibrium.

16-1 Temperature and the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

The zeroth law of thermodynamics:

If object A is in thermal equilibrium with object B, and object C is also in thermal object C is also in thermal equilibrium with object B, then objects A and C will be in thermal equilibrium if brought into thermal contact.

That is, temperature is the only factor that determines whether two objects in thermal contact are in thermal equilibrium or not.

16-2 Temperature ScalesThe Celsius scale and The Fahrenheit scale:

Water freezes at 0°Celsius = 32 °Fahrenheit.

Water boils at 100°Celsius = 212°Fahrenheit.

The plot of TF vs TC is a straight line with

∆∆∆∆ ∆∆∆∆

From 0 Celsius to 100 Celsius, temperature increases 100 degree C, From 32 °F to 212°F, temperature increases 180°F

Every 5 Celsius of temperature change is equal to9 Fahrenheit of temperature change.

a slope of ∆∆∆∆TF /∆∆∆∆TC =9/5

16-2 Temperature ScalesThe pressure in a ideal gas is proportional to its temperature. The proportionality constant (slope) is different for different gases, but they all reach zero pressure at the same temperature, which we call absolute zero:

The Kelvin scale is similar to the Celsius scale, except that the except that the Kelvin scale has its zero at absolute zero.

SI unit: K, Kelvin

16-2 Temperature Scales

The three temperature scales compared:

Every 5 Celsius of temperature change is equal to __ Fahrenheit to __ Fahrenheit of temperature change, and is equal to __ Kelvin of temperature change.

16-3 Thermal Expansion

Most substances expand when heated; the change in length or volume is typically proportional to the change in temperature.

The proportionality constant is called the coefficient of linear expansion.

16-3 Thermal Expansion

The expansion of an area of a flat substance is derived from the linear expansion in both directions:

Holes expand as well:

16-3 Thermal Expansion

The change in volume of a solid is also derived from the linear expansion:

For liquids and gases, only the coefficient of volume expansion is defined:

In general what expends more due to same temperature change? Liquid or Solid?

16-3 Thermal ExpansionSome typical coefficients of volume expansion:

Water also expands when it is heated, except when it is close to freezing; it actually expands a little bit (0.01% )when cooling from 4°C to 0°C.

16-4 Heat and Mechanical Work

Experimental work has shown that heat is another form of energy.

James Joule used a device similar to this one to measure the mechanical equivalent mechanical equivalent of heat:

16-4 Heat and Mechanical Work

One kilocalorie (kcal) is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water from 14.5°C to 15.5°C.

16-5 Specific Heats

The heat capacity of an object is the amount of heat added to it divided by its rise in temperature:

Q is positive if ∆T is positive; that is, if heat is

added to a system.

Q is negative if ∆T is negative; that is, if heat is

removed from a system.

16-5 Specific Heats

The heat capacity of an object depends on its mass.

A quantity which is a property only of the material is the specific heat:

16-5 Specific HeatsWhen a hot object is put in water, it and the water come to thermal

equilibrium. If the mass of the flask can be ignored, and the insulation keeps any heat from escaping:

The final temperatures of the object and the water will be equal, Tf. equal, Tf.

The total energy of the system is conserved.

Water raises T, so that Qw > 0.Block lowers T, so that Qb > 0. Qw+Qb=0mwcw(Tf-Tw) + mbcb(Tf-Tb) = 0 (Use T final minus T initial)

Qw+Qb=0mwcw(Tf-Tw) + mbcb(Tf-Tb) = 0 mwcw(Tf-Tw) + mbcb(Tf-Tb) = 0 (Pay attention to the sign of Q, Use T final minus T initial)

Which one of the following is incorrect?

mwcw(Tf-Tw) = mbcb(Tf-Tb)

mwcw(Tf-Tw) = mbcb(Tb-Tf)

16-6 Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Conduction, convection, and radiation are three ways that heat can be exchanged.

Conduction is the flow of heat directly through a physical material.

16-6 Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Experimentally, it is found that the amount of heat Q that flows through a rod:

• increases proportionally to the cross-sectional area A

• increases proportionally to the temperature difference from one end to the otherdifference from one end to the other

• increases steadily with time

• decreases with the length of the rod

The constant k is

called the thermal conductivity of the rod.

16-6 Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Some typical thermal conductivities:

Substances with high Substances with high thermal conductivities are good conductors of heat; those with low thermal conductivities are good insulators.

16-6 Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

Convection is the flow of fluid due to a difference in temperatures, such as warm air rising. The fluid “carries” the heat with it as it moves.

16-6 Conduction, Convection, and RadiationAll objects give off energy in the form of radiation, as electromagnetic waves – infrared, visible light, ultraviolet –which, unlike conduction and convection, can transport heat through a vacuum.

Objects that are hot enough will glow – first red, then yellow, white, and blue. Objects at body temperature radiate in the infrared, and can be seen with night vision binoculars.

16-6 Conduction, Convection, and RadiationThe amount of energy radiated by an object due to its temperature is proportional to its surface area and also to the fourth (!) power of its temperature.

It also depends on the emissivity, which is a number between 0 and 1 that indicates how effective a radiator the object is; a perfect radiator would have an emissivity of 1.

Here, e is the emissivity, and σ is the Stefan-

Boltzmann constant:
