Isobaric
No change in pressure; Q = ΔU + W; W = nRΔT; W = PΔV
(Charles Law)
Isochoric
No change in volume; W = 0; Q = ΔU
(Gay-Lussac's Law)
Isothermal
No change in temperature; W = Q;
(Boyle's Law)
Adiabatic
No heat added or removed; No change in entropy; ΔU = -W; ΔS = 0
Entropy
The measure of disorder in a system; ΔS = ΔQ/T; Increases with Volume and Temperature
Isothermal Compression
Gives off heat without changing internal temperature.
Isothermal Expansion
Takes in heat without changing internal temperature.
Isobaric Expansion
Work is positive and is found using pΔV or nRΔT.
Isobaric Compression
Work is negative and is found using pΔV or nRΔT.
Isochoric Expansion
Work is zero, Heat is positive, and Temperature increases.
Isochoric Compression
Work is zero, Heat is negative, and Temperature decreases.
Adiabatic Expansion
No change in heat; Temperature increases, while work(volume) decreases.
Adiabatic Compression
No change in heat; Temperature decreases, while work(volume) increases.
Work
A change in volume. Cannot occur without a change in volume. Can be found by finding the area under a Pressure-Volume graph.
The First Law of Thermodynamics
Q = W + ΔU; Heat is equal to work plus change in internal temperature.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
For any cycle of energy, some heat must be lost.
Work of a Heat Engine
Q(hot) - Q(cool) = Work; Q(hot) = Q(cool) + W
Efficiency
The amount of heat that is converted to Work;
e = W/Q(hot); e = 1- Q(cool)/Q(hot)
The Carnot Cycle
Theoretical cycle for the most efficient process of turning a given amount of heat into work.
Efficiency of the Carnot Cycle
e(c) = 1 - T(cool)/T(hot); Temperature is in Kelvin.
Isothermal Expansion
The first step of the Carnot Cycle. Constant hot temperature, takes in heat.
Adiabatic Expansion
The second step of the Carnot Cycle. T(hot) becomes T(cool) with no change in heat.
Isothermal Compression
The third step of the Carnot Cycle. Constant cold temperature, Heat leaves the engine.
Adiabatic Compression
The last step of the Carnot Cycle. T(cool) becomes T(hot) with no change in heat.
Temperature
The measure of average kinetic energy. Also indicates the direction of heat flow.
Internal Energy
What heat becomes when absorbed by a gas.
