Thermodynamics

ABSTRACT:
1. Introduction
Thermodynamics is the study of the inter-relation between heat, work and internal energy
of a system.[1] The Laws of Thermodynamics are four laws of physics that establish certain
fundamental physical quantities and describe how these quantities change under certain
conditions.
Since Energetics is primarily concerned with energy conversion and the efficiency of energy
conversion, the way physical quantities change under the Laws of Thermodynamics is of
particular interest.
The mathematical form of the law where U represents the change in internal energy, Q
represents the heat transferred and W the work transferred.
According to the equation in each repetition of a cyclic process the work done by the
system is proportional to the heat absorbed by the system. That proportionality is
irrespective of the system in which it is measured. Its universal.
A corollary to the second law is Carnots theorem. Carnots theorem is of particular interest
to the design of engines in Energetics since it limits the maximum efficiency of any possible
engine. Carnots theorem states that: Carnot's theorem states:
All irreversible heat engines between two heat reservoirs are less efficient than a
Carnot engine operating between the same reservoirs.
All reversible heat engines between two heat reservoirs are equally efficient with a
Carnot engine operating between the same reservoirs.
5. Conclusions
The laws of thermodynamics establish fundamental physical truths that are critical for the
design of efficient systems and cycles that can convert energy from one state to another.
Thermodynamics is inexorably intertwined with Energetics in the same way heat is related
to the concept of energy.
