WHAT IS THERMODYNAMICS?
It is a science of energy that concerned with the ways in which energy is
stored within a body.
Energy transformations – mostly involve heat and work movements.
Interaction between energy and matter. e.g. Gas stove, Electric iron,
Fans, Cooler, Refrigerator, Pressure cooker and T.V.
Thermodynamics plays important role in design of automobile engines,
Compressors, Turbines, Refrigerators, Rockets, Solar collectors, Nuclear
power plants and Energy- Efficient Home.

TEMPERATURE :-
- No EXACT Definition.
- Broad Definition : “Degree of Hotness / Cold”
- This definition is based on our physiological sensation.
- Hence, may be misleading.
- e.g. Metallic chair may feel cold than Wooden chair; even at SAME temperature.
- Properties of materials change with temperature.
- We can make use of this phenomenon to deduce EXACT level of temperature.

Absolute Pressure : Actual Pressure at a given position.
Measured relative to absolute vacuum i.e. absolute zero pressure.
Pressure Gauges are generally designed to indicate ZERO at local atmospheric pressure.
Hence, the difference is known as Gauge Pressure.
i.e. P (gauge) = P (abs) – P (atm)
Pressure less than local atmospheric pressure is known
as Vacuum Pressure.
i.e. P (vacuum) = P (atm) – P (abs)

Characteristics:-
1) Must passes through same states on the
reversed path.
2) This process when undone will leave no
history of events in the surroundings.
3) Must pass through a continuous series of
equilibrium states.
REVERSIBLE PROCESS
One which can be stopped at any stage and reversed so that system and
surroundings are exactly restored to its initial state.
REVERSIBLE PROCESS (IDEAL):-
NOTE ≡ No real process is truly reversible but some processes may approach
reversibility, to close approximation.
25. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
REVERSIBLE PROCESS (IDEAL):-
Nearly close to reversible processes are:
1) Expansion and Compression of spring.
2) Frictionless adiabatic expansion or compression of fluid.
3) Polytropic expansion or compression of fluid.
4) Isothermal expansion or compression
5) Electrolysis.
REVERSIBLE PROCESS
Process that can be reversed without leaving any trace on the Surroundings.
i.e. Both, System and Surroundings are returned to their initial states at the end of the
Process.
This is only possible when net Heat and net Work Exchange between the system and the
surroundings is ZERO for the Process.
26. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS (NATURAL):-
Irreversible processes are:
1) Relative motion with friction.
2) Combustion.
3) Diffusion.

IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS
27. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
Most of the Processes in nature are IRREVERSIBLE.
i.e. Having taken place, they can not reverse themselves spontaneously and restore the
System to its original State.
e.g. Hot cup of coffee Cools down when exposed to
Surroundings.
But, Warm up by gaining heat from Surroundings.
i.e. w/o external Heat supply.
IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS (NATURAL):-
IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS
28. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
Why REVERSIBLE Process ?
1. Easy to analyze, as System passes through series of Equilibriums.
2. Serve as Idealized Model for actual Processes to be compared for analysis.
3. Viewed as Theoretical Limit for corresponding irreversible one.
Reversible Process leads to the definition of Second Law Efficiency; which is Degree
of Approximation (Closeness) to the corresponding Reversible Process.
( )Better the Design, ( )Lower the Irreversibilities; ( ) Second Law Efficiency.
REVERSIBLE PROCESS
29. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
A system is said to have undergone a cycle if it returns to its ORIGINAL
state at the end of the process.
Property A
State 1 = State 2
PropertyB
Hence, for a CYCLE, the
INITIAL and the FINAL states
are identical.
In other words, it should form a
“LOOP” in STATE SPACE.
CYCLE
CYCLE:-
30. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
Thermal Equilibrium: - The temperature of the system does not change with time and has
same value at all points of the system.
Mechanical Equilibrium: - There are no unbalanced forces within the system or between
the surroundings. The pressure in the system is same at all points and does not change
with respect to time.
Chemical Equilibrium:- No chemical reaction takes place in the system and the chemical
composition which is same throughout the system does not vary with time.
NOTE: The above three types of equilibrium states must be achieved is called
thermodynamics equilibrium.
THERMODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
31. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
Thermal Equilibrium :
- NO Temperature Gradient throughout the system. (T=Uniform)

STATEMENT :
If two bodies are in Thermal Equilibrium with the third body, then they are also in
Thermal Equilibrium with each other.
This statement seems to be very simple.
However, this can not be directly concluded from the other Laws of Thermodynamics.

Then, Temp (B) is also known, even not in contact with Thermometer.
ZEROTH LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
34. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
Thermal Equilibrium : NO change w.r.t. Temperature
NO Temperature Gradient.
HOT cup of tea / coffee cools off w.r.t. time.
COLD Drink warms up w.r.t. time.
When a body is brought in contact with another body at different temperature, heat
is transferred from the body at higher temperature to that with lower one; till both
attain a THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM.
THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM
35. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
- Formulated and labeled by R.H. Fowler in 1931.
- However, its significance is realized after half a century after formation of First and
Second Laws of Thermodynamics.
- Hence named as Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics.

Similarities between HEAT & WORK :
1. Both are recognized at the Boundary of the System, as they cross the
Boundary. Hence both are Boundary Phenomena.
2. System possesses Energy, but neither Heat nor Work. Hence both are
transient Phenomena.
3. Both are associated with Process, not State. Heat and Work have NO meaning
at a State.
4. Both are Path Functions and inexact differentials. It is denoted by Q and W.

46. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
Dissimilarities between HEAT & WORK :
1. Heat is low grade energy, whereas Work is high grade energy.
2. Heat transfer takes place due to temperature difference only, while work
transfer may takes place due to potential difference in pressure, voltage,
height, temperature etc.
3. In a stationary system there cannot be work transfer, however there is no
restrictions for the heat transfer.
4. Entire quantity of work can be converted into heat or any form of energy
(with single process), while conversion of entire quantity of heat into work is
not possible (without cyclic processes).

From these day – to – day life examples, it can be clearly seen that;
Satisfying the First Law of Thermodynamics does not ensure for a Process to occur
actually.
Processes proceed in certain direction; but may not in Reverse direction.
First Law of Thermodynamics has no restriction on the DIRECTION of a Process to
occur.
This inadequacy of the First Law of Thermodynamics; to predict whether the Process
can occur is solved by introduction of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
82. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
SIGNIFICANCE :
1. Second Law of Thermodynamics is not just limited to identify the direction of
the Process.
2. It also asserts that Energy has quantity as well as Quality.
3. It helps to determine the Degree of Degradation of Energy during the Process.
4. It is also used to determine the Theoretical Limits for the performance of the
commonly used engineering systems, such as Heat Engines and Refrigerators.

1. They receive the Heat from High-Temp Reservoir ( i.e. Source )

2. They convert part of this Heat to Work

3. They reject the remaining Heat to Low-Temp Reservoir ( i.e. Sink )
(e.g. Atmosphere, River, etc.)
4. They operate on a CYCLE.

THIRD LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
STATEMENT :
• As a system approaches absolute zero, all processes cease and the
entropy of the system approaches a minimum value. OR It is not
possible to lower the temperature of any system to absolute zero in
a finite number of steps.
– decreasing entropy of a system requires increasing the entropy of
surroundings
If the entropy of each element in some (perfect) crystalline state be taken as
zero at the absolute zero of temperature, every substance has a finite positive
entropy; but at the absolute zero of temperature the entropy may become
zero, and does so become in the case of perfect crystalline substances.

100. AE 2031 APPLIED THERMODYNAMICS S. Y. B. Tech.
THIRD LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
• In simple terms, the Third Law states that the entropy of most pure substances approaches
zero as the absolute temperature approaches zero. This law provides an absolute reference
point for the determination of entropy. The entropy determined relative to this point is the
absolute entropy.
• Another application of the third law is with respect to the magnetic moments of a material.
Paramagnetic materials (moments random) will order as T approaches 0 K. They may order in
a ferromagnetic sense, with all moments parallel to each other, or they may order in an
antiferromagnetic sense, with all neighboring pairs of moments antiparallel to each other. (A
third possibility is spin glass, where there is residual entropy.)
