Definition of A Thermodynamic Property

• Any Macroscopic variable, which can be written as a point function can be used as a thermodynamic property

• Thermodynamic properties are so related that F(.) is constant.

• Every substance is represented as F(.) in Mathematical (Caratheodory) Thermodynamics.

• This is shows a surface connectivity of Property of a substance.

Corollaries on Properties.

• Corollary 1: A change of state is fully described by means of the initial and final values of all the primitive properties of the system.

– A change occurs when at least one of its primitive properties changes value.

• Corollary 2: A process is required for the determination of a derived property.

• Corollary 3: The change in value of a property is fixed by the end states of a system undergoing a change of state and is independent of the path.

• Corollary 4: Any quantity which is fixed by the end states of a process is a property.

• Corollary 5: When a system goes through a cycle, the change in value of any property is zero.

• Corollary 6: Any quantity whose change in a cycle is zero is a property of a system.

The Nature of Macroscopic Property

• A pseudo description, but highly practicable.

• Suitable analytical and experimental methods will help in identifying change in a macroscopic property.

• It is possible to enhance the precision of Change detection/identification.

• Difficult to quantify this change with a number (integer or Real).

• What is a unit of a macroscopic property?

• How to get zero value of macroscopic property.

The Most Important (Macroscopic)Thermodynamic Property

• The most interesting macroscopic property in thermodynamics is Temperature.

• Pressure is equally important.

• Precise identification of change in temperature or change I pressure was done very early.

• Special instruments to identify the change in temperature were invented well before 16th century.

• These were called “Thermoscope”

Page 11: Quantification of Macroscopic Property Theory Vs Practice P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An Effort to Develop

Thermoscope• An instrument to measure heat and

cold was invented by Galileo during his stay in Padua.

• this thermoscope was designed by Galileo in 1597.

• The thermoscope consists of an egg-sized glass with a long neck.

• The jar is heated with the hands and partially immersed, upside down, in a container filled with water.

•When the hands are removed, the water rises in the neck. •The experiment demonstrated the changes in air density caused by temperature variations. •Santorio had built a similar instrument in Venice in 1612.

Page 12: Quantification of Macroscopic Property Theory Vs Practice P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An Effort to Develop

Galileo Thermoscope

•A thermoscope could show the differences in temperature, allowing observers to know if something was getting hotter or colder. • The thermoscope could not provide an exact temperature in degrees. • In 1612, the Italian inventor Santorio Santorio added a numerical scale on his thermoscope and it was used to take human temperature

Page 13: Quantification of Macroscopic Property Theory Vs Practice P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An Effort to Develop

Length Scale Thermoscope

• Ferdinand II, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, followed in 1654, inventing the first enclosed thermometer, using alcohol as a liquid.

• But it still lacked a standardized scale and was not very accurate.

• Olaus Roemer, a Danish astronomer, developed an alcohol-based thermometer using wine.

• He marked two points on his thermometer — 60 to mark the temperature of boiling water and 7.5 as the point where ice melted.

Page 14: Quantification of Macroscopic Property Theory Vs Practice P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An Effort to Develop

Newton’s Hot Iron Thermometer

• In 17th century accepted thermal expansion of alcohol as a principle of thermometry.

• These conventional thermometers were used almost exclusively for meteorological or medical purposes.

• NEWTON was the first, to develop thermometers capable of investigating a wide range of thermal phenomena in the laboratory.

• Newton resorted to a stratagem which has always been considered to be ingenious.

• Newton Invented law of cooling in late 17th century, and conducted the first experiments on the nature of cooling.

• Newton applied this principle to develop an industrial thermometer with high range.

Newton’s Law for High Temperature Thermometry

• If the excess of the temperature of the body above its surroundings is observed at equal intervals of time, the observed values will form a geometrical progression with a common ratio.

• The several degrees of heat were discovered.

Newton’s Temperature Scale

• Melting Snow : 0 N• Heat of Summer : 4, 5 & 6 N…

• Incubated egg & body heat: 12 N• Water begins to boil : 33 N• Solidification of 50-50 tin – bismuth liquid alloy : 49 N• Solidification of liquid lead : 96 N• Red hot Iron : 192 N

Gabriel Fahrenheit

• In 1709, he improved the Olaus alcohol thermometer, but found that mercury gave better results.

• This was followed by his invention of the mercury thermometer in 1714.

• Fahrenheit wanted to construct a scale in order to actually measure and record temperatures.

• At the time, the coldest temperature obtainable in the laboratory derived from a mixture of water, ice and ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac).

• As a reliable measure at the high end of the temperature scale, he selected 96 degrees as the temperature of the blood of a healthy man.

• Defining the coldest obtainable temperature as 0 degrees.

Page 19: Quantification of Macroscopic Property Theory Vs Practice P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An Effort to Develop

The Temperature Scale

• Fahrenheit got his two fixed points on his scale.

• This enabled him to specify the temperature at which water freezes as 32 degrees.

• The mercury thermometers could measure higher temperatures than was possible with alcohol.

• Fahrenheit adjusted his scale so that the high end was the boiling point of water which he defined, somewhat arbitrarily, as 212 degrees.

• With 180 degrees between the freezing and boiling points of water, normal body temperature was then adjusted to 98.6 degrees.

TEMPERATURE

• [Simply stated] The degree of hotness or coldness of a substance, as measured on a thermometer.

• A measure of Average rms value of peculiar velocity of atoms/molecules of a system.

• Temperature Scale is quantify the Temperature.• Fahrenheit

– oF = (9/5 oC) + 32• Celsius or Centigrade

– oC = 5/9 (oF - 32)• Rankine

– R = oF + 459.67• Kelvin

– K = oC + 273.15

Properties of A Thermodynamic System

• A System should be described using a set of point functions.

• The change in these functions can be calculated without performing any action.

• Instruments can be easily developed to measure these functions.

• Function tables can be prepared and marketed.

• Any industrial process can use these tables.

• This function is called as PROPERTY in Thermodynamics.

• Numerical description of temperature demands a zero temperature point.

• Each temperature scale identified one such zero temperature point.

• Most popular zero was freezing point of water.

• Knowing the true zero was felt to a scientific challenge.

Thermodynamic Temperature

• There is a naturally-defined zero on this scale.

• It is the point at which the pressure of an ideal gas is zero, making the temperature also zero

• Thermodynamic temperature is the fundamental temperature;

its unit is the Kelvin which is defined as the fraction 1/273.16 of the thermodynamic temperature of the triple

point of water.

State of A Thermodynamic System

• The collection of all properties for a thermodynamic system at a certain condition is defined as the state of the system.

• These properties are not independent. • It was observed that any of them can be expressed as a

function of some of the others. • The first three as internal properties of state. • While the others as called state-functions. • Internal and external properties of state are generically

mentioned as variables of state. • If the variables of state can take arbitrary values, they are

defined as independent variables; in the opposite case, they are called dependent variables.

Equilibrium• Frequently we will refer not only to the properties of a

substance but to the properties of a system.

• It is necessarily imply that the value of the property has significance for the entire system.

• This implies equilibrium.

• Every system in this universe spontaneously move towards equilibrium.

Page 50: Quantification of Macroscopic Property Theory Vs Practice P M V Subbarao Professor Mechanical Engineering Department I I T Delhi An Effort to Develop

Thermal Equilibrium

• It is observed that a higher temperature object which is in contact with a lower temperature object will spontaneously transfer heat to the lower temperature object.

• The objects will approach the same temperature, and in the absence of loss to other objects, they will then maintain a equal temperature.

• They are then said to be in thermal equilibrium.

• Thermal equilibrium refers to equality of temperatures.

• Thermal equilibrium is the subject of the Temperature measurement.

Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

• The "zeroth law" states that two thermodynamic systems in thermal equilibrium with the same environment are in thermal equilibrium with each other.

• If A and C are in thermal equilibrium with B, then A is in thermal equilibrium with C. Maxwell [1872]

• Practically this means that all three are at the same temperature.

• A basis for comparison of effect of temperatures.

Scottish physicist Joseph Black in his 1786 Lectures on Chemistry, as such:

“[There exists] a tendency of heat to diffuse itself from any hotter body to the cooler around, until it be distributed among them, in such a manner that none of them are disposed to take

any more heat from the rest. The heat is thus brought into a state of equilibrium.

This equilibrium is somewhat curious. We find that when all mutual action is ended, a thermometer, applied to any one of the bodies, acquires the same degree of

expansion: therefore the temperature of them all is the same, and the

equilibrium is universal.”

Mechanical Equilibrium of A Finite size System

• If a system is in mechanical equilibrium, there is no tendency for the pressure at any point.

• There will be a variation in pressure with elevation because of the influence of gravitational forces, although under equilibrium conditions there will be no tendency for the pressure at any location to change.

• In many thermodynamic problems, this variation in pressure with elevation is so small that is can be neglected.

Thermodynamic Equilibrium

• When a system is in equilibrium regarding all possible changes of state, we say that the system is in Thermodynamic Equilibrium.

• The properties of a system can be measured, when system is at equilibrium.

• Definition of a system using certain observable, macroscopic properties is known as description of “The state”.

• Some familiar ones are temperature, pressure, and density.

• How many properties are required to completely describe the state of a system?
