THERMODYNAMICS
By Prof. Liwayway Memije-Cruz
Thermodynamics
 the branch of physics
involved with studies on the
effects of changes in
temperature, pressure, and
volume on physical systems
at the macroscopic scale.
 It is done through the analysis
of the collective motion of
particles using statistics. The
motions produced by the
particles produce heat.
 Heat in thermodynamics
means "energy in transit" and
dynamics relates to
"movement" Based on the
said principle,
thermodynamics studies the
movement of energy and how
energy instills movement
Thermodynamic System
 heat moves from hot to cold and
work is extracted, through a
series of pistons. This is what we
call energy flow.
 energy can be exchanged
between physical systems as
heat or work.
Trophic Level: Energy Flow
 The steps
involved in the
flow of energy
through an
ecosystem.
 the position that
an organism
occupies in a food
chain - what it
eats, and what
eats it.
Entropy
 (on a macroscopic
scale) a function of
thermodynamic
variables, as
temperature,
pressure, or
composition, that is a
measure of the
energy that is not
available for work
during a
thermodynamic
Examples of Energy Flow
The Laws of
Thermodynamics
Zeroth law of thermodynamics
 states that
thermodynamic
equilibrium is an
equivalence
relation. If two
thermodynamic
systems are
separately in
thermal equilibrium
with a third, they are
also in thermal
equilibrium with
each other.
Thermal Equilibrium
First law of thermodynamics
 is about the
conservation of
energy.
 The change in the
internal energy of a
closed
thermodynamic
system is equal to the
sum of the amount of
heat energy supplied
to the system and the
work done on the
Second law of thermodynamics
 is about entropy.
 The total
entropy of any
isolated
thermodynamic
system tends to
increase over
time,
approaching a
The First Law of Psychology is the Second
Law of Thermodynamics: The Energetic
Evolutionary Model of the Mind and the
Generation of Human Psychological
Phenomena
By Peggy La Cerra, Center for Evolutionary Neuroscience, 1919
Meiners Road, Ojai, CA 93023, USA.
 The second law of thermodynamics has
crafted the functional design of the human
intelligence system, and the psychological,
behavioral and cultural products of the human
mind faithfully reflect its influence. The
architectural design and underlying problem-
solving logic of the human behavioral
intelligence system is phylogenetically ancient
in its origins, a tried and true solution to the
constraints on life imposed by entropy.
Third law of thermodynamics
 about absolute zero temperature As a system asymptotically
approaches absolute zero of temperature all processes virtually
cease and the entropy of the system asymptotically approaches a
minimum value; also stated as: "the entropy of all systems and of
all states of a system is zero at absolute zero" or equivalently "it is
impossible to reach the absolute zero of temperature by any finite
number of processes".
 it says that entropy at absolute zero is zero. Or in other words,
things are most orderly when they're really cold. Absolute zero is
the temperature at which molecules stop moving or vibrating at
all. Sounds pretty orderly to me! So the third law of
thermodynamics makes a lot of sense. This complete stop in
molecular motion happens at -273 Celsius, which is defined as 0
kelvin, or absolute zero.
