PV Diagrams
PV Diagram
Pressure is on y-axis and Volume is on x-axis Graphical method of representing the 1st Law (U = Q + W) Pressure (N / m2 or Pa)
Volume (m3)
Process Cycle One curve is represented as gas goes from one state to another state. Multiple process (usually 3 or 4) for the gas to return to the original state. Represents the heat engines full cycle.

Volume (m3) Gas is expanding when a process has a + x direction (-Work) Gas is contracting when a process has a x direction (+Work)
The area between the process line and the x axis The area contained inside a closed cycle. Temperature increases as the process goes away from the origin of the graph. PV PV Find temperature by using PV = nRT or 1 1 = 2 2 T1 T2

U = 0 so Q = - W
Isobaric Process
Q = ncT amount of heat transferred in process Molar specific heat at constant pressure cp = 5/2 R Isochoric Process Volume is held constant P W = 0 so U = Q Molar specific heat at constant volume cv = 3/2 R Adiabatic Process The heat transfer (Q) is zero, the system is insulated. Very fast process can be approximated as adiabatic.

Reversible Process The process can return to the original state by running the process in reverse. The process cannot return to the original state by running the process in reverse. All real world processes are irreversible. The disorder in a substance. Entropy in a natural process always increases.

Heat Engine
Engine
Engine uses the change in internal energy due to the temperature difference to produce work Work output from the engine W = QH QL
Week 11 Thermodynamics
Engines
Efficiency of the engine The amount of work compared to the input energy (heat) e = engine efficiency e= W W = work QH QH = input heat (energy) Example A motorcycle engine has an efficiency of 22% and produces a maximum power rating of 50 hp (1hp = 746 watts). a) What is the rate of heat input into the engine per second? b) What is the heat output from the engine in 10 seconds?
