 Work W and heat Q depend on process by which the

system is changed (path dependent).

 The change of energy in the system,

Eth depends only on the total energy exchanged W+Q, not on the process. Physics 207: Lecture 24, Pg 2

Adiabatic Processes (in an ideal gas) An adiabatic process is process in which there is no

thermal energy transfer to or from a system (Q = 0) A reversible adiabatic

process involves a “worked” expansion in which we can return all of the energy transferred. p In this case Cp γ =C PVγ = const. V All real processes are not.

Both Q and W can change T  We know how work changes the mechanical energy of

a solid “system”  Here our system is an ideal gas….only the temperature can change  For real materials we can change the temperature or the state  We must quantify the response of a system to thermal energy transfer (Q)

Latent Heat

Physics 207: Lecture 24, Pg 13

Heat and Latent Heat 

Latent heat of transformation L is the energy required for 1 kg of substance to undergo a phase change. (J / kg)

Q = ±ML 

Specific heat c of a substance is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg by 1 K. (Units: J / K kg )

Q=Mc T 

Molar specific heat C of a gas at constant volume is the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 mol by 1 K.

Q = n CV T If a phase transition involved then the heat transferred is

Q = ±ML+M c T Physics 207: Lecture 24, Pg 14

process path  CV= molar specific heat at constant volume  Cp= molar specific heat at constant pressure  Cp= CV+R (R is the universal gas constant)

Latent Heat  Most people were at least once burned by hot water

or steam.  An equal amount (by mass) of boiling water and

steam contact your skin.  Which is more dangerous, the water or the steam?

Mechanical equivalent of heat  Heating

liquid water:  Q = amount of heat that must be supplied to raise the temperature by an amount ∆ T .  [Q] = Joules or calories. 1 cal = 4.186 J 1 kcal = 1 cal = 4186 J

 calorie: energy to raise 1 g of water from 14.5 to 15.5 °C (James Prescott Joule found the mechanical equivalent of heat.) Sign convention: +Q : heat gained - Q : heat lost Physics 207: Lecture 24, Pg 18

Exercise Latent Heat  Most people were at least once burned by hot water or steam.  Assume that water and steam, initially at 100°C, are cooled down

to skin temperature, 37°C, when they come in contact w ith your skin. Assume that the steam condenses extremely fast, and that the specific heat c = 4190 J/ kg K is constant for both liquid water and steam.  Under these conditions, which of the following statements is true? (a) Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the thermal conductivity of steam is much higher than that of liquid water. (b) Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well. (c) Hot water burns the skin worse than steam because the thermal conductivity of hot water is much higher than that of steam. (d) Hot water and steam both burn skin about equally badly.
