Work done on a gas
W=-P△V
Change in Internal Energy
△U= Q + W
Change in Internal Energy of an Ideal Gas
△U= n Cv △T
Isobaric Process (△U, Q, and W)
△U= nCv△T
Q= nCp△T
W=-P△V
Adiabatic Process
△U= nCv△T Q= 0 W= △U Constant = (PV)^gamma Gamma= Cp/Cv
Isovolumetric Process
△U= nCv△T Q= △U W= 0
Isothermal Process
△U= 0 Q= -W W= -nRTln(Vf/Vi)
General Thermal Processes
△U= nCv△T Q= △U-W W= PV (Area)
Degree of Freedom
each different way a gas molecule can store energy; contributes 1/2R to the molar specific heat capacity; monoatomic Cv= 3/2R; diatomic Cv= 5/2R
Heat capacity at Constant Pressure
Cp= Cv + R
Work Done by a Heat Engine
Weng = l Qh l -l Qc l
Thermal Efficiency of a Heat Engine
e= 1 - [Qc]/[Qh]
Coefficient of Performance
COP = Q/W
Carnot Cycle Efficiency
e (c) = 1 - Tc/Th
Entropy
△S= Qr/T Qr= heat flow as the system changes from one state to another
Energy required to change Temperature
Q=mc△T
Energy required to change the phase
Q= +/-mL
Rate of Energy Transfer
P= kA (Th-Tc)/L k= thermal conductivity
