Q

Internal energy (U)

A

Sum of the energies of the sons Titus the molecules

17
Q

Van der Waals Equation

A

((P+an^2)/V^2) (V-nb) = nRT

a = constant for force of interactions b/w gas particles

b = constant for excluded volume

18
Q

Work and heat

A

Delta U = Q + W

19
Q

Work

A

W = -Pext (Vf-Vi)

Involves the movement of matter

W = PdV for reversible processes

20
Q

Heat

A

Is thermal energy that flows from a hot body to a cold one

Stored as kinetic and potential energy

21
Q

If Q is added to a system

A

Q = (+)

22
Q

Heat is removed from a system

A

Q = (-)

23
Q

If work is done on a system

A

W = (+)

24
Q

If work is done by a system

A

W = (-)

25
Q

1st Law of Thermodynamics

A

The total energy of a system and its surroundings is always constant

26
Q

1st Law of Thermodynamics

A 
U = Q - W
I = total internal energy
Q = heat added to the system
W = work done by the system
dU = Q - W
27
Q

Adiabatic process and 1st Law

A 
U = -W
Q = 0
28
Q

Enthalpy

A

H = U + PV

dH = dU + d(PV) = dU + PdV + VdP

Constant pressure: dH = dU + PdV

29
Q

Heat capacity (Cp & Cv)

A

The thermal energy that must be added to raise the temperature of a system by 1 C, under specific conditions

Can calculate heat capacity of reversible processes, for which the path is fully specified

30
Q

Heat capacity at constant volume (Cv)

A

Cv = (dQ/dT)v

Under this restriction: W = 0
Under this restriction: dU = dQ

Cv = (dU/dT)v

31
Q

Heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp)

A

Cp = (dQ/dT)p
Cp= (dH/dT)p
Cp is a system property

32
Q

Cp & Cv written in other forms

A

dU = CvdT

dH = CpdT

Always valid for ideal gas

33
Q

Cp & Cv at low pressure

A

Real-gas behavior in low pressure resembles idea gas so P -> 0 limit

Cp - Cv = R

R = gas constant

34
Q

Ratios of heat capacities

A

Y = Cp/Cv

R/Cv = Y - 1

35
Q

Ideal gas state

A

State achieved when a real gas is compressed to a finite pressure while retaining ideal gas behavior

36
Q

Ideal gas heat capacities

A 
igCv = (3/2)R
igCp = (5/2)R
Y = 1.67
37
Q

Ideal heat capacities for diatomic gases

A 
igCv = (5/2)R
igCp = (7/2)R
Y = 1.40
