Thermodynamics

Basic Concepts

Introduction:

Thermodynamics deals with heat inter-action and work inter-action with the
substances called systems. Work and heat are forms of energy. Transfer of heat or work
to a substance brings about certain changes in the substance and whatever change
happens is called a process. Thermo means heat. Since work is also a form of energy,
thermo is taken to mean heat and work. Dynamics refers to the changes that occur as a
result of heat or work transfer.
Biological systems are capable doing work. For example, micro-organism is
capable swimming in the body fluid of its host. It needs to do the work. Where does
energy for doing this work come from? It is the metabolic activity that converts some
form of energy (Nutrition that it takes form host is a form of chemical energy) into work.
It is important then to understand how this happens so that we can exploit this to our
engineering benefit.
In thermodynamics we have work transfer, heat transfer and then we have a
system for interaction which undergoes a process. Let us look at these basic terms.

System:

We need to fix our focus of attention in order to understand heat and work
interaction. The body or assemblage or the space on which our attention is focused is
called system. The system may be having real or imaginary boundaries across which the
interaction occurs. The boundary may be rigid and sometimes take different shapes at
different times. If the system has imaginary boundary then we must properly formulate
the idea of system in our mind.

Surroundings:

Every thing else apart from system constitutes surroundings. The idea of
surroundings gets formulated the moment we define system. System and surroundings
together form what is known as universe.

Closed system:
If the system has a boundary through which mass or material cannot be
transferred, but only energy can be transferred is called closed system. In an actual
system, there may not be energy transfer. What is essential for the system to be closed is
the inability of the boundary to transfer mass only.

Open system:
If the system has a boundary through which both energy and mass can transfer, then it is
called open system.

Properties:
Variables such as pressure, temperature, volume and mass are properties. A system will
have a single set of all these values.

Intensive properties:
The properties that are independent of amount contained in the system are called
extensive properties. For example, take temperature. We can have a substance with
varying amount but still same temperature. Density is another example of intensive
property because density of water is same no matter how much is the water. Other
intensive properties are pressure, viscosity, surface tension.

Extensive properties:
The properties that depend upon amount contained in the system are called extensive
properties. Mass depends upon how much substance a system has in it therefore mass is
an extensive property.
State:
It is defined as condition of a system in which there are one set of values for all its
properties. The properties that define the state of a system are called state variables.
There is certain minimum number of intensive properties that requires to be specified in
order to define the state of a system and this number is uniquely related to the kind of
system. This relation is phase rule which we shall discuss little later.

Process:
The changes that occur in the system in moving the system from one state to the other is
called a process. During a process the values of some or all state variables change. The
process may be accompanied by heat or work interaction with the system.

Heat:
It is a form of energy that exists only in transit. This transit occurs between two points
which differ in temperature. Since it exists only in transit, it should be accompanied by
changes that occur in the system. The moment this energy cease to move, it appears as
internal energy. We shall discuss internal energy when we deal with I law of
thermodynamics.

Work:
It is also a form energy that exists only in transit. The work cannot be stored. Work is
defined as the product of force and distance through the force moves. Mathematically,

   
W  f d  f d cos 
where f is the force and d the displacement. Work is a scalar quantity.
Let us look at the following piston and cylinder arrangement containing some gas. The
system considered is the gas in the cylinder. It is exerting some pressure on the piston in
the upward direction. This is balanced by the atmospheric pressure plus the weight and

therefore piston though it is free to move, does not move. If the weight is increased, then

dL

the piston moves downwards. The pressure of the gas increases and the movement of the
piston stops when the pressures become equal. The additional weight is doing the work
on the gas. The additional weight has to push the force created by the gas inside to move
the piston. So there is force and distance. But as the piston moves, the pressure
continuously changes. Therefore consider small distance (dL) for which work done (dW)
is also small as shown in the figure which results in small volume change (dV). Then by
definition of work, we have, if A is the cross sectional area of the piston

Integrating between the two locations of the piston,

This is the equation we use to determine the work. Please note that in general p cannot
be taken out of the integral sign as p may be continuously changing as above.

p 1

a b
V

If we have a p vs. V curve, we can determine the integral as area under the curve.
The area under the curve a21b is the work done on the gas.
We can carry out a process differently with the same initial and final states given
by the points 1 and 2. Since it is a different process, the curve will be different. In that
case the area under the curve will also be different which means to say the work done is
different though the initial and final states are same. Thus the work depends upon the
process or path or how the state is changing. Such quantities are called path functions.
Since heat is also energy in transit as the work is, heat must also be a path function. No
matter what process, as long we have same initial and final states, it brings about the
same pressure difference. Such properties which depend only on state are called state
properties.

Equilibrium state:
A system is said to be in thermodynamic equilibrium if it satisfies the condition for
thermal equilibrium, mechanical equilibrium and also chemical equilibrium. If it is in
equilibrium, there are no changes occurring or there is no process taking place.

Thermal equilibrium:
There should not be any temperature difference between different regions or locations
within the system. If there are, then there is no way a process of heat transfer does not

take place. Uniformity of temperature throughout the system is the requirement for a
system to be in thermal equilibrium.

Surroundings and the system may be at different temperatures and still system may be in
thermal equilibrium.
Mechanical equilibrium:
There should not be any pressure difference between different regions or locations within
the system. If there are, then there is no way a process of work transfer does not take
place. Uniformity of pressure throughout the system is the requirement for a system to be
in mechanical equilibrium.
Surroundings and the system may be at pressures and still system may be in mechanical
equilibrium.

Chemical equilibrium:
There should not be any chemical reaction taking place anywhere in the system, then it is
said to be in chemical equilibrium. Uniformity of chemical potential throughout the
system is the requirement for a system to be in chemical equilibrium.
Surroundings and the system may have different chemical potential and still system may
be in chemical equilibrium.

Thermodynamic process:
A system in thermodynamic equilibrium is disturbed by imposing some driving force; it
undergoes changes to attain a state of new equilibrium. Whatever is happening to the
system between these two equilibrium state is called a process. It may be represented by a
path which is the locus all the states in between on a p-V diagram as shown in the figure
below.

V
For a system of gas in piston and cylinder arrangement which is in equilibrium, altering
pressure on the piston may be driving force which triggers a process shown above in
which the volume decreases and pressure increases. This happens until the increasing
pressure of the gas equalizes that of the surroundings. If we locate the values of all
intermediate states, we get the path on a p-V diagram.

Phase rule:
The two gas samples below have the same density, viscosity and all other intensive
properties.

1 m3 of nitrogen at a pressure of 2 atmosphere and 300 K


2 m3 of nitrogen at a pressure of 2 atmosphere and 300 K

pV  nRT

If M is the molecular weight of the gas, then

Thus the density of an ideal gas depends upon only temperature and pressure as all other

quantities are constants. Since p and T are same for the above nitrogen samples, density is

same. If we take out 1 cc of sample from any of those two, by observing only this 1 cc

sample we can never from where we took the sample. This means to say the samples are

exactly same and indistinguishable. They are said to be in the same state.

In order to define this state of nitrogen, we need only T and p. Thus we need minimum
two variables to specify the state. This number is given by Gibb‘s phase rule which is
given by

F  2   N

where
F : degrees of freedom
 : Number of phases
N : Number of components

For the above example, number of phases is one; number of components is one therefore
the degrees of freedom are two. For a system containing liquid water and its vapor in
equilibrium, we get the degrees of freedom to be one.

Following is the phase diagram of water which describes in what phase or phases
it can exist for different temperature and temperature.

Vapor

For the system to have two phases, if we mention the temperature alone given by
the vertical line, the pressure has to be the one given by horizontal line. Given the
pressure, its temperature gets fixed. Thus we have a freedom of fixing only one of them
which amounts to say degrees of freedom is one.

Heat reservoirs:
If the temperature of the system does not change if we remove a finite quantity of heat
from it, then the system is said to be heat reservoir. If the temperature of the system does
not change if we add a finite quantity of heat to it, then the system is said to be heat sink.
Ocean can be made to act either as heat reservoir or heat sink.

Heat Engine:

Work and heat are forms of energy and are inter-convertible. Any device which converts
continuous supply of heat into useful work continuously is called heat engine. For any
system to undergo continuous process, it should be cyclic. The detailed mathematical
treatment of heat engines will follow in 5th chapter on second law of thermodynamics.

Irreversible process:
If a thermodynamic process takes place in such a way that we can retrace the path
exactly, the process is called reversible. Consider a piston and cylinder arrangement with
piston free to move at some pressure and temperature in equilibrium. The pressure of the
gas is balanced by a pressure equal to sum of atmospheric pressure and the weight on the
piston pan as shown. If the weight on the piston is reduced, then the piston moves up. Let
us just displace the part of the weight horizontally. This involves work. The piston moves
up as it is free to move until the pressures again become equal.

Following is the p-V diagram for the process.

Looking at the sequencing of the events, it is

For More B.Tech Notes & Projects Visit www.toppersarena.com


1. Removal of part of weight on the piston which takes some work.
2. Moving of piston upward following some path on p-V diagram as shown.
Reaching a new steady position called state – 2.

Reversal of these events will mean


1. Piston moving downward from state-2 to state-1.
2. Weight moving on to the piston.

Can this reversal be possible? During expansion step, the system does work on the
surroundings. In reverse then, the surroundings should do the work at state – 2. This is
not possible as the system and the surroundings have the same pressure. Exact reversing
is not possible. The process of bringing the weight on the piston pan is also not possible
as we need to do only by moving horizontally. The pan level is higher than that of the
weight. This requires extra work to be done. Further, in moving the weight work was
done on the weight. In reverse then, the weight should do the work, go and sit on the pan!
Clearly this is ridiculous which is not possible.

In order for a process to be reversible, the driving force must be infinitesimally small. If
we remove the weight bit by bit and place it horizontally, every bit would be placed one
above the other and then piston moves upward. At any point, the piston and the bit
removed are at the same level. As a result, at any point, we can move the bit horizontally,
making the piston move a bit down where the next bit of weight is available at the same
level. Reversing is thus possible.

However there is one work that can never be reversed even in this process. That is the
work done on the bit to move it horizontally. But this is less irreversible compared to the
earlier process where large part of the weight was removed. Look at the state-2, in order
to reverse; the weight has to be lifted by some vertical distance which is missing in the bit
by bit process. We can only strive to make a process only closer to reversibility.

First law is a statement of law of conservation of energy. For a closed system, since there
is no mass exchange with the surroundings, the total energy of the system must be always
a constant. One form of energy may be converted into another. The system may possess
several forms of energy such as kinetic energy, potential energy, internal energy.

Potential energy:
It is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. An object kept at a height z,
possesses energy to do the work. A spring kept in a compressed state is also capable of
doing work. A body is said to be possessing energy only if it can lift weight by some
mechanical means. If we tie a rope to a body at higher level, pass the rope over a pulley
and tie the other end to another body whose mass is slightly lower, the second body will
be lifted. To one end of the compressed spring in the vertical position, tie a weight and
then release the spring. The weight goes up. Thus a body at higher level or spring in its
compressed state possesses energy. The potential energy of a body of mass m at height of
z from some arbitrary level (reference level) is given by

EP  mgz
Arbitrary level may by any level. As long as the same, the changes in energy will also be
same. The changes in potential energy as the level changes will be

EP  mg( z f  zi )  mgz

Kinetic energy:
It is defined as the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its velocity. For a body of
mass m which is moving with a velocity u, the kinetic energy is given by,

1 2
EK  mu

Change in kinetic energy is
1 1
EK  m(u f  ui )  mu 2
2 2

Internal energy:
When some external work is transferred to a body, its temperature increases indicating
rise in internal energy. Internal energy is due to molecular energy of vibration and
rotation.

First law of thermodynamics for a closed system:


If Q is the amount of heat transfer to a system which does W amount of work (work
transfer form the system), then the change in the total energy of the system will be Q –
W. This change will have its implications on the kinetic, potential and internal energy.
Since law of conservation is to be valid, the change in internal energy Q – W must be
equal to the changes occurring in all forms energy. Mathematically,

Q  W  U  EP  EK
Generally, the changes in kinetic and potential energy will be negligible compared to heat
and work interaction,

Q  W  U
This is first law of thermodynamics. Note that Q is the heat transfer to the system and W
is work done by the system.

Cyclic process:
If the process occurs in such a way that periodically its state repeats then the process is
called cyclic process. The following p – V diagram represents a cyclic process.

The states 1, 2 and 3 keep repeating in the process in that order. Not only this, all the
states in between also will repeat. Every time process state changes from 1 to 2, 2 to 3
and 3 to 1 following the same paths. During such processes, there will be heat and work
interaction. All the properties will get the same values at state 1 regardless of number of
times cycle repeats. Thus

U1 2 31  V1 2 31  p1 2 31  T1 2 31  0

First law applied to a cyclic process:


Since the change in internal energy is zero,

U  Q  W
Q W  0
Q W
This means that net heat transfer to the system is the net work done by the system.
Cyclic process consists of several steps. In the cyclic process shown in the diagram, there
are three steps viz., 1-2, 2-3 and 3-1.

Let us have another cyclic process for which heat and work interaction are known as
below.

1-2 Q1-2 is added to the system No work interaction

Net heat transfer to the system, Q  Q1 2  Q2 3  Q31

Net work done by the system, W  W2 3  W31 and Q  W

Flow processes:
So far we considered closed systems only. Let us look at open systems. Mass exchange
can occur. If the process variables do not change with respect to time for the system, the
process is said to be under steady state conditions. Under such conditions the mass of the
system is constant. This is due to the equality of mass entering and leaving.

If the system as a whole is moving undergoing changes, it constitutes steady state flow
process only when the system at a fixed location will have fixed values.

This diagram shows an open and steady state flow process. The equipment considered is
between 1 and 2. The gas enters at 1 and leaves at 2. Steady state flow process requires
mass entering at 1 is equal to mass leaving at 2. If certain mass of gas considered to be
the system, such as cylindrical shaped gas at 1, when it reaches a particular location such
as A, it will be at a state (having certain fixed values for all the properties). No matter
what time, the system at A will be in the same state. This is true for all locations.
However, state of the system differs from location to location. There is no variation of the
state with respect to time at a given location.

First law applied to flow process:


Following is the equipment through which the steam is flowing.

Work output, Ws

Steam enters at 1 and leaves at 2. There is a heat exchanger which adds heat Q to the
steam making it superheated. The superheated steam runs the turbine and shaft work is
obtained. Thus the gas does the work Ws. The kinetic, potential and internal energy of the
gas changes as it goes from one location to the other. The entrance 1 is at height z1 and
exit is at height z2 from some reference datum. The velocity of the gas varies as the flow
area varies along the path.
Let us consider unit mass of steam whose volume is the volume of cylinder shown at
location 1. This steam element enters the equipment, goes through it receiving heat Q in
the exchanger, doing work at the turbine and comes out at 2. There are changes
occurring in potential (as the height at which the steam element is present changes),
kinetic energy (as the velocity changes) and internal energy. Let u1 and u2 be the
velocities at location 1 and 2. Change in kinetic energy, since m =1, is

E P  mg( z 2  z1 )
Let the change in internal energy be U . We must account for all heat and work
interaction that occur during the process of steam element moving form 1 to 2. The heat
Q is getting transferred in the heat exchanger to the steam element. Apart from work
output of the turbine, there are other fork forms. At location 1, the surrounding has to do
the work on the steam element to push it into the equipment. If the pressure of the steam
is p1, and the cross sectional area of the pipe is a1, then the distance moved by the steam
element is V1 / a1 where V1 is the specific volume of the steam at 1. The work done at the
entrance on the steam element at 1 is then,

V1
W1  ( p1a1 )  p1V1 (Work done on the system)
a1
Similarly work needs to be done by the steam element at section 2 as it has to push the
surrounding which is given by
V2
W2  ( p2 a2 )  p2V2 (Work done by the system)
a2
The entrance and exit work are also called as flow work. The product of pressure and
volume is the flow work.
If the steam element gets into the equipment, it receives work done by the previous steam
element and uses it to push the element next to it. Thus the net work is zero for all the
locations inside the equipment.
Thus the net work done by the element,
W  WS  W2  W1

W  WS  P2V2  P1V1
Substituting in first law of thermodynamics,
Q  W  E K  E P  U
Q  (WS  p 2V2  p1V1 )  E K  E P  
Q  WS  E K  E P  U 2  U 1  p 2V2  p1V1
Q  WS  E K  E P  (U 2  p 2V2 )  (U 1  p1V1 )

The group U  pV occurs frequently in flow processes and is called enthalpy denoted by
the letter H.
H  U  pV
Since internal energy, pressure and volume are state functions, enthalpy is also state
function. The above equation becomes,
Q  WS  E K  E P  H 2  H 1
Q  WS  E K  E P  H
This equation is first law of thermodynamics applied to flow processes. If the changes in
potential and kinetic energy are very small then,
Q  WS  H

Heat capacity:
Heat capacity of a substance is defined as the heat transfer necessary to bring about a
change in the temperature of unit amount of substance by one degree centigrade. Since it
is heat transfer which is a path function, it depends upon the way heating is done. For
example gases can be heated to increase the temperature by two different methods. The
unit quantity of gas taken in container with rigid wall, when heated its volume remains
constant. Another method is to have the wall which is flexible. If the piston is movable in
the piston and cylinder arrangement, gas when heated pushes piston and pressure will be
constant. Even if we take unit amount of gas in both these heating methods, it is observed
the heat transfer is not the same. Thus we have heat capacity and constant volume and
heat capacity at constant pressure. Mathematically,

PVT Behavior of fluids
Pressure, temperature and volume of gases vary in a definite manner. Based upon the
conditions, matter can exist in solid, liquid and gas phase. This is represented in graphical
form as below. This diagram is for pure water. All pure substances will have more or less
similar diagrams.

Based upon the values of pressure and temperature, if the point lies in a region, the
substance will exist in the corresponding state represented. For example the point a
represents solid state and b represents vapor state. Any point lying on the curve
represents both the phases which are in equilibrium. For example, the point d represents
liquid water and its vapor in equilibrium. Thus there are numerous pair of pressure and
temperature values on the curve and all those points represent liquid and vapor in
equilibrium. Each curve will have always two phases in equilibrium.
The point where all the curves meet is called triple point and at this condition, all the
three phase exist in equilibrium. Critical point is the highest temperature and highest
pressure where the liquid and its vapor can exist in equilibrium.

For all pressures and temperatures higher than those at critical point, the liquid and vapor
properties become similar. This state is called fluid.
Phase is considered liquid if it can be vaporized by reduction in pressure keeping T
constant. This is represented by vertical downward arrow in the figure. The initial point is
in liquid phase region. Phase is considered gas if it can be condensed by reduction in T
keeping p constant. This is shown by horizontal arrow pointing towards left. The point a
represents solid state which on increasing the temperature at constant pressure, only the
temperature of the solid increases until it reaches curve where first drop of liquid appears
and beyond this only vapor exists. This is shown as arrow a  b.

The substance at point 1 is in liquid state. If we decrease pressure keeping temperature


constant, the volume decreases along the dashed curve. But this change is very small and
this is why liquids are considered incompressible. Volume change with pressure at
constant temperature is negligible for liquids. Decreasing pressure from 1 at constant
temperature (T1), a point 2 will be reached where first bubble of vapor appears. Any
further attempt to decrease the pressure fails bringing pressure down, instead more and
more liquid becomes vapor and the pressure and temperature remain constant represented
by dashed horizontal line. Thus point such as 3 represent liquid and vapor in equilibrium.
Further attempt in decreasing the pressure brings the state to the point 4 where all the
liquid becomes vapor. Further decrease in pressure at constant will follow the dashed
curve in the gas region. Thus the dashed line represents an isotherm (T1). Given in the
figure there is one more isotherm at a temperature less than T1. The dumb bell shaped
curve represents the locus of all points on all isotherms where the points similar to 2 and
3 lie. The isotherms of higher temperature lie on higher and saturated liquid and vapor
volume become closer and closer and finally merge at the critical point. This is point
where liquid and vapor cannot be distinguished. Isotherm TC has a point of inflexion at
the critical point.

A point on the curve is called point of inflexion if there is a tangent at that point which
lies on either side of the curve as shown below.

How do we represent this complicated behavior mathematically? This is a challenge


which led to lot of research and we have several mathematical equations. All these
equations do have limitations. We will use simple mathematical equation. This is not a
limitation as no matter what equation all it does is relate pressure, temperature and
volume of gases.

Similarly every point has an adiabatic curve passing through it. The adiabatic curve
follows the relation pV   const . Thus every point is an intersection of an isotherm and
an adiabatic curve as shown below. The adiabatic curve is steeper.

The Van der Waals equation is cubic in V. Therefore it should have three roots for a
given set of values of pressure and temperature and for a given substance. For any
temperature higher than critical temperature, there is one positive root. For critical
temperature and critical pressure, all the three roots will be equal which gives critical
volume. For temperature and pressure less than critical values, there will be three roots,
least one gives the molar volume of saturated liquid and highest gives that of saturated
vapor which are volumes given by the two ends of horizontal section of the isotherm.

Since there are no changes in internal energy and enthalpy, work done on the system is
given out as heat.

Determination of changes in internal energy and enthalpy:

No matter what is the process the internal energy and enthalpy are determined using the
following formulae.

dU  CV dT
dH  CP dT

If the process is isochoric, then dU  CV dT  dQ.


If the process is isobaric, then dH  CP dT  dQ.

Let us recall that


1. For ideal gases internal energy is a function of temperature only.
2. The change in internal energy is a state function.

Let us take an adiabatic process and determine change in internal energy.

Consider two states (1) and (2) on an adiabatic path. There is one isotherm for each state
as shown. Adiabatic curve at (1) is steeper than the isotherm. Whether the process
follows adiabatic path or another curve shown in the figure or any arbitrary path, as long
the initial and final state are same, we get the same change in internal energy.

Let us replace adiabatic path by two steps –


1. 1 – a constant volume process followed by
2. a – 2 isothermal process
to accomplish the same change in the state.

ΔU12  ΔU1a  ΔU a 2

Since step 1 – a is a constant volume process, dU  CV dT will have to be used. The step

a – 2 is isothermal and therefore dU = 0.

Any process between any two states can be replaced by either an isothermal process
followed by constant volume process or constant volume process followed by an
isothermal process. The total change in internal energy is the change in internal energy
for constant volume step only. Thus no matter what process the change in internal energy
is given by dU  CV dT .

Same idea may be extended to change in enthalpy.

Deviations of real gases form ideal behavior:


The deviation from ideal behavior is measured using what is known as
compressibility factor defined as the ratio of volume determined using ideal gas law
to the actual volume at any given temperature and pressure.

For ideal gases, Z = 1. Higher the value Z away from one higher will be the non-ideality.
Following figure gives the value of Z as a function pressure for different gases. All gases
approach ideal gas behavior at low pressures. This figure is called compressibility chart.
There will be as many curves as there are number of gases. The chart that is given here is
for one temperature. Therefore this figure becomes highly cumbersome if applied for all
gases and all temperatures.

Hess’s Law of constant heat summation:
The net enthalpy involved in a reaction is the same whether the reaction takes place in a

single step or in a series of steps.

A B C ΔH
Let A and B react to form C with heat of reaction H. Let there be one more method of

carrying out this reaction in two steps as given below.

A  B  AB ΔH1

AB  C ΔH 2
Treating arrow as an equal sign, adding these two reactions gives,

A B C , ΔH1  ΔH 2

It has been found that ΔH1  ΔH 2 is same as ΔH .

This idea is used to determine heat of reaction from heat of formation or heat of

combustion data.

For example if we want to determine heat of formation of sulfuric acid, we must

determine this from the reaction,

H 2  S  2O2  H 2 SO4

No matter what we do, the above reaction cannot be carried out. Let us carry out other

possible reactions such that the over-all reaction is the formation reaction as below.

S  O2  SO2 ΔH1 ----------(1)

2 SO2  O2  2 SO3 ΔH 2 ----------(2)

SO3  H 2 O  H 2 SO4 ΔH 3 -----------(3)

1
H2  O2  H 2 O ΔH 4 ----------(4)
2

2(1), 2(3) and 2(4) gives,

2 S  2O2  2 SO2 2 ΔH1 ----------(1)

2 SO2  O2  2 SO3 ΔH 2 ----------(2)

2 SO3  2 H 2 O  2 H 2 SO4 2 ΔH 3 -----------(3)

2 H 2  O2  2 H 2 O 2 ΔH 4 ----------(4)

Adding these equations along with heat of reactions,

2 H 2  2 S  4O2  2 H 2 SO4

and heat of this reaction will be 2( ΔH1  ΔH 3  ΔH 4 )  ΔH 2

ΔH 2
Therefore heat of formation of sulfuric acid is ΔH1  ΔH 3  ΔH 4 
2
This is how Hess‘s law can be used to determine the heat of reaction of a reaction from

heat of reaction of other reactions.

First deals with law of conservation of energy and defines internal energy.
A stone falls decreasing its potential energy and converting it into kinetic energy. Just
before it strikes the ground, it has maximum kinetic energy. From there why does it not
go up decreasing its kinetic energy and converting it into potential energy?

If we keep two bodies at different temperature in contact, why there is no heat transfer
from a body of low temperature to a body at higher temperature?

When we remove the wall which separates two gases, the two gases mix together without
any external work done on them. Why then the two gases in a mixed state separate
themselves without any external work?

For all the processes mentioned above there is absolutely no violation of I law. In spite of
that, we do not observe these processes. It appears that there is some sense of direction
for spontaneous processes. There is nothing in the first law to indicate any such direction
to any process.

Is there any difference between heat and work though they are both forms of energy? If
they inter-convertible, then any cyclic process should be able to convert all the heat
supplied into work completely as change in internal energy is zero. Does it happen? It has
been found that we cannot have a device whose sole effect is conversion of heat supplied
into work completely. Let us look at why this is so with an example of a process.

In the following figure, there is a heat exchanger where heat is supplied (Q1) to the
system which is water in this case and generates steam at high pressure. The steam flows
into a turbine and rotates it producing useful work WS. From the turbine, we get steam at
relatively lower pressure than with which it entered. The objective here is to convert heat
Q1 into work. Since this heat is available, can we send the steam from turbine directly
into the heat exchanger in order to make it work continuously so that we get continuous
supply of work? This is shown by a dotted arrow.

The moment we establish this connection, whole process comes to an abrupt stop! We
have lower pressure steam line going into the heat exchanger in which there is higher
pressure steam. If there is connection like this, why does steam preferentially go into the
turbine line? It will enter into both the lines and stop the turbine. Therefore, in order to
have this going on, we must condense the steam bring about a change in its state so that it
can be fed to the heat exchanger. This state must be same as that of feed water to the heat
exchanger.

Heat Exchanger

Q2

Thus there is no way Q2 = 0. We cannot device any process which converts Q1


completely into work. The work obtained Ws is less than Q1 by an amount equal to Q2.
By first law, since for a cycle change in internal energy is zero,

WS  Q1  Q2
Practically Q2 cannot be zero.

If we analyze any cyclic process, there will be several heat and work interactions, such
that net work done is equal to net heat supplied. There will be always one step in which
there is heat removed which brings down the amount of heat that is getting converted into
work.

This fact is the basis of statement of II law of thermodynamics. There are several
statements for the II law which are equivalent. In fact we can deduce one from any other.
All the statements are given below.

Second law of thermodynamics:


1. Heat cannot by itself pass from a cold to a hot body.
2. All spontaneous processes are to some extent irreversible and are
accompanied by degradation of energy.

3. It is impossible to construct a heat engine that operates continuously in a cycle
to produce no effect other than conversion of heat supplied completely into
work. This is called Kelvin – Planck statement.
4. It is impossible to construct a heat pump (reverse heat engine) that operates
continuously to produce no effect other than transfer of heat from low
temperature body to a high temperature body.

To determine entropy change we must have only reversible path. However the entropy
change between the states 1 and 2 is same regardless of the path as it is a state function.
What the above equation says is entropy is not equal to dQ/T along an irreversible path.
To determine entropy change for any irreversible path between two states, replace the
path by a reversible path with the same states, and find the entropy of the reversible path.

The process can be made less and less irreversible by lowering the temperature T1 closer
and closer to T2.
As the temperatures become closer and closer, irreversibility decreases and ΔStotal  0.

For any heat transfer there has to be some temperature difference. Therefore T1 > T2 and
hence,

ΔStotal  0.
This is the mathematical statement of II law of thermodynamics. Thus the entropy of the
universe always increases and the energy is conserved.

Because of irreversibility, there will be some dissipation and degradation of energy which
will not be available as work. This is called lost work which is given by

Wlost  T0 ΔStotal
Where T0 refers to the temperature of the sink to which heat is rejected.

etermination of entropy changes:


dQR

This is the basic equation. The heat transfer term may replaced by any term using first
law or any equation applicable to the process for which entropy change is to be
determined. This is applicable only the process is reversible. For example, for an ideal
gas undergoing isothermal reversible process,

dQ  dW  pdV

Fundamental Property Relations:


Apart from enthalpy, internal energy and entropy, there are other thermodynamic
properties which are necessary to apply to phase equilibria and reaction equilibria. So far
we have treated only closed systems which consist of single phase without any reaction.
In order treat the systems we need to know other energy terms involved with reaction and
phase equilibria. The use these properties will get clearer when we do the chapters on
these areas.

Let us derive the fundamental property relations from basics.

Enthalpy:

Helmholtz free energy:


It is defined as
A = U – TS

Differentiating,

dA = dU-d(TS)
= TdS – pdV – TdS – SdT
dA= - pdV – SdT

Gibb‘s Free energy:


It is defined as G = H – TS

Differentiating, dG= dH –TdS – SdT


= TdS +Vdp – TdS – SdT

These four equations are called fundamental property relations as many equations are
derived from these equations.

Maxwell’s relations
As some of the thermodynamic properties are not directly measurable, we must write the
equations in terms of measurable properties. The measurable and determinable (by
experiment) properties are temperature, pressure, volume, heat capacities and in some
cases even enthalpies. These relations are derived from fundamental property relations.
The derivations are based upon a mathematical relation applied to exact differential
equations.

Properties of solutions
The relationships for pure component are not applicable to solutions. Which needs
modification because of the change in thermodynamic properties of solution. The
pressure temperature and amount of various constituents determines an extensive state.
The pressure, temperature and composition determine intensive state of a system.

Partial Molar properties:

For More B.Tech Notes & Projects Visit www.toppersarena.com


The properties of a solution are not additive properties, it means volume of solution is not
the sum of pure components volume. When a substance becomes a part of a solution it
looses its identity but it still contributes to the property of the solution.

The term partial molar property is used to designate the component property when it is
admixture with one or more component solution.

A mole of component i is a particular solution at specified temperature and pressure has


got a set of properties associated with it like VP , S i etc . These properties are partially
responsible for the properties of solution and it is known as partial molar property

It is defined as
 nM 
Mi    ji
  n i  T , P ,n
j

M i = Partial molar property of component i.


M = Any thermodynamic property of the solution
n = Total number moles in a solution
ni=Number of moles of component I in the solution

This equation defines how the solution property is distributed among the components.
Thus the partial molar properties can be treated exactly as if they represented the molar
property of component in the solution.

The above expression is applicable only for an extensive property using

We can write
ni
nM   ni M i  xi
n
M   xi M i

xi=Mole fraction of component i in the solution.

Measuring of partial molar properties


To understand the meaning of physical molar properties consider a open beaker
containing huge volume of water in one mole of water is added to it, the volume increase
is 18x 10-6 m3 If the same amount of water is added to pure ethanol the volume increased
is approximately 14 x 10 -6m3 this is the partial molar volume of H2O in pure ethanol.
The difference in volume can explain the volume applied by water molecules depending
on water molecules surrounding to them. When water is added to large amount of
ethanol, ethanol molecules hence volume occupied surround all the water molecules will
be different in ethanol.

If same quantity of water is added to an equimolar mixture of H 2O and ethanol, the
volume change will be different. Therefore Partial molar property change with
composition. The intermolecular forces also changes with change in thermodynamic
property.
Let Vw = Partial molar volume of the water in ethanol water solution
V w = Molar volume of pure water at same temperature and pressure
V t =Total volume of solution when water added to ethanol water mixture and allowed
for sufficient time so that the temperature remains constant

In a process a finite quantity of water is added which causes finite change in composition.

Tangent Intercept method:
This is the graphical method to estimate partial molar properties. If the partial molar
property (M) is plotted against the composition we get the curve as shown in the figure.

Suppose partial molar properties of components required at any composition, and then
draw a tangent to this point to the curve. The intercept of the tangent with two axis x 1=1

x1=0 will give the partial molar property of component 1 at infinite dilution ( M 1 ) and

tangent is drawn at x2=0 or x1=1 will give infinite dilution ( M 2 ) of component 2

Phase Equilibrium
Criteria for phase equilibrium: If a system says to be in thermodynamic equilibrium,
Temperature, pressure must be constant and there should not be any mass transfer.
The different criteria for phase equilibrium are

At Constant U and V: An isolated system do not exchange mass or heat or work with
surroundings. Therefore dQ=0, dW=0 hence dU=0. A perfectly insulated vessel at
constant volume dU=0 and dV=0.
dSU ,V  0
At Constant T and V: Helmoltz free energy is given by the expression
A  U  TS
U  A  TS
on differentiating

dU  TdS  PdV

TdS  PdV  dA  TdS  SdT

dA  PdV  SdT

Under the restriction of constant temperature and volume the equation simplifies to

At Constant P and T
The equation defines Gibbs free energy
G  H  TS
G  U  PV  TS
dG  dU  PdV  VdP  TdS  SdT

dU  dG  PdV  VdP  TdS  SdT


dU  dG  dG  PdV  TdS
Under the restriction of constant Pressure and Temperature the equation simplifies to

dGT , P  0
This means the Gibbs free energy decreases or remains un altered depending on the
reversibility and the irreversibility of the process. It implies that for a system at
equilibrium at given temperature and pressure the free energy must be minimum.

Phase Equilibrium in Multi component system

Phase Diagram for Binary solution

Constant pressure equilibrium


Consider a Binary system made up of component A and B. Where it is assumed to be
more volatile than B where vapour pressure ‗A‘ is more than ‗B‘. When the pressure is
fixed at the liquid composition can be changed the properities such as temperature and
vapour compositions get quickly determined VLE at constant pressure is represented on
T-xy diagram.

Boiling point diagrams

When temperature is plotted against liquid(x) and vapour(y) phase composition. The
upper curve gives and lower curve gives. The lower curve is called as bubble point
curve and upper curve is called as Dew point curve. The mixture below bubble point is
sub cooled liquid and above the Dew point is super heated vapour. The region between
bubble point and Dew point is called mixture of liquid and vapour phase.

Consider a liquid mixture whose composition and temperature is represented by
point ‗A‘. When the mixture is heated slowly temperature rises and reach to point ‗B‘,
where the liquid starts boiling, temperature at that point is called boiling point of whether
heating mixture reaches to point ‗G‘ when all liquids converts to vapour the temperature
at that point is called as Dew point. Further heating results in super heated vapour. The
number of tic lies connects between vapour and liquid phase. For a solution the term
boiling point has no meaning because temperature varies from boiling point to Dew point
at constant pressure.

Effect of pressure on VLE


The boiling point diagram is drawn from composition x=0 to x=1, boiling point of pure
substances increases with increase in pressure. The variation of boiling point diagrams
with pressure is as shown in diagram. The high pressure diagrams are above low
pressure.

Vapor composition is drawn against liquid comp at constant pressure. Vapour is always
rich in more volatile component the curve lies above the diagonal line.

Constant temperature Equilibrium

VLE diagram is drawn against composition at constant temperature. The upper curve is
and lower curve is drawn at vapour comp(y). Consider a liquid at known pressure and
composition at point ‗A‘ as the pressure is decreases and reaches to point ‗B‘ where it
starts boiling further decreases in pressure reaches to point ‗C‘ when all the liquid
converts to vapour, further decreases in pressure leads to formation of super heated
vapour. In between B to C both liquid and vapour exists together

Non ideal solution
An ideal solution obeys Raoults law and p-x line will be straight. Non ideal solution do
not obey Raoults law. The total pressure for non ideal solutions may be greater or lower
than that for ideal solution. When total pressure is greater than pressure given by Raoults
law, the system shows positive deviation from Raoults law.
Eg: Ethanol-toluene
When the total pressure at equilibrium is less than the pressure given by Roults law the
system shows negative deviation from Raoults law.
Eg: Tetrahydrofuron-ccl4

Azeotropes
Azeotropes are constant boiling mixtures. When the deviation from Raoults law is very
large p-x and p-y curve meets at this point y1=x1 and y2=x2
A mixture of this composition is known as Azeotrope. Azeotrope is a vapour liquid
equilibrium mixture having the same composition in both the phases.

Types of Azeotropes
Azeotropes are classified into two types

1. Maximum curve pressure, minimum boiling azeotropes


2. Minimum pressure maximum boiling azeotrope
The azeotrope formed when negative deviation is very large will exhibit minimum
pressure or maximum boiling point, this is known as minimum pressure Azeotrope.
Eg : Ethanol –water, benzene-ethanol

The azeotrope formed when –ue deviation is very large will exhibit minimum pressure or
maximum boiling point, this is known as minimum pressure azeotrope.

CHEMICAL REACTION EQUILIBRIUM
Energy change accompanies all chemical reactions. Because of this energy
change the temperature of the products may increase or decrease depending on the
exothermic or endothermic nature of the reaction. The energy change may be
expressed in terms of heat of reaction, heat of combustion and heat of formation.
Heat of reaction is the change in enthalpy of a reaction under pressure of 1.0
atmosphere, starting & ending with all materials at a constant temperature T
Heat of combustion is the heat of reaction of a combustion reaction.
Heat of formation is the heat of reaction of a formation reaction. A formation
reaction is one which results in the formation of one mole of a compound from the
elements.
Eq. H2 + ½ O2  H2O
C +O2  CO2
C + ½ H2 + 1/2 Cl2  CHCl3
The standard heat of reaction, standard heat of formation, and standard heat of
formation are respectively the heat of reaction, heat of combustion and heat of formation
under 1 atmosphere starting and ending with all materials at constant temperature of
250C.
In chemical industries, processes are carried out under isothermal conditions
and this requires the addition or removal of heat from the reactor. Heat of reaction
values will give the amount of heat to be removed or added. Knowing of this heat
value helps to design the heat exchange equipment.
Standard heat of reaction
Calculation of ∆H298 form heats of formation data:
The standard heat of reaction accompanying any chemical change is equal to
the algebraic sum of the standard heats of formation of products minus the
algebraic sum of the standard heat of formation of reactants.

∆Hr = ∑∆Hf 298 products - ∑∆Hf 298 reactants


Heat of formation of any clement is zero

For the reaction, aA + bB ↔ cC + dD
Let heat capacity be Cp = α + βT + γT2 then we have CpA = αA + βAT + γAT2
CpB = αB + βBT + γBT2
CpC = αC + βCT + γCT2
CpD = αD + βDT + γDT2

And ΔH0298 be standard heat of reaction at 298 K and standard heat of reaction at any

A chemical reaction proceeds in the direction of decreasing free energy.The sum of the
free energies of the reactants should be more than the sum of energies of products. For a
reaction to take place
GRe action  

reaction
G or GRe action  0

Therefore ΔG should be less than zero for a reaction to occur. When equilibrium is
reached free energies of the reactants equal free energies of products,. Therefore the
criterion for reaction equilibrium is ΔG = 0

ΔGReaction Calculation: Consider the reaction aA + bB ↔ cC + dD

THERMODYNAMIC FEASIBILITY OF REACTIONS


The equilibrium constant K is a measure of the concentration of the products
formed at equilibrium. It is related by the equation ΔG 0 = - RT ln K. The more the value
of K, more will be the equilibrium conversion of products. When the value of ΔG < 0,
means the value of K should be very large. Hence ΔG is the measure of feasibility of a
chemical reaction.

i) If ΔG0 < 0, there can be appreciable conversion of reactants in to products.
The more the –ve value, more will be the feasibility of the reaction
ii) If ΔG0 is +ve but less than 10 000 k Cal / mol, the reaction is not feasible,
at atmosphere , may be feasible at any other pressure
iii) If ΔG0 is greater than 10 000 kCal / mol the reaction is not at all feasible

For endothermic reactions ΔH0 is + ve as T increases K also increases. This
means that the equilibrium conversion is more at higher pressure.
For exothermic reactions ΔH0 is –ve. Therefore K increases with T. Hence the
equilibrium conversion decreases as T increases. Eg. SO 2 + 1/2 O2 ↔ SO3
Effect of pressure: Consider a reaction of ideal gases, then K = KyPΔn or Ky = K / PΔn
 When Δn > 0. An increase in pressure decreases Ky. Hence equilibrium product
yield is less at high pressures
 When Δn< 0. An increase in pressure increases Ky and equilibrium product
yield
C2H4 + H2O  C2H5OH Δn = 1 – (1+1) = -1, Δn < 0
N2 + 3H2  2NH3 Δn = 2 – 4 = – 2 Δn < 0 Here high
pressure is required
 When Δn = 0 Here pressure has no effect on reaction. For ideal gases the effect
of pressure depends on the variation of γ and Φ with pressure
Effect of Inert: Presence of inert has the opposite effect of increase of pressure.
Therefore when Δn > 0, addition of inert increases Ky and equilibrium
conversion
And Δn < 0, addition of inert decreases equilibrium conversion.
Effect of excess reactants: Presence of excess reactants increases equilibrium
conversion of the limiting reactant
Presence of products in feed: decreases the equilibrium conversion of reactants.
Eg. CH3COOH + C2H5OH CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
If water is added by 1.0 mole to the feed, equilibrium conversion of CH 3COOH
reduces from 30% to 15%

HCN is produced by the reaction N2 (g)+ C2H2 (g)  2HCN (g). The reactants are

a. For the reaction at ΔG = 0, T ≈ 812.4 K, above this temperature ΔG <
0, reaction is promising below 550 K, ΔG > 0, reaction is unfavorable,

b. At 800K, ΔG0 = 1842.16 J / mol


ΔG0 = - RT ln K, or 1842.16 = - 8.314 ( 800 ) ln K or
K = 1.3191
K = ky PΔn = ky P ( 2- 1 ) = ky P

Therefore at 1.0 bar K = kyP 1.3191 = ky ( 1 )
