>
Thermodynamics can be defined as the science of energy
and its transformations, including power generation,
refrigeration, and relationships among the properties of
matter.
What is energy? Energy can be viewed as the ability to
cause changes. The change might be; position, velocity,
phase, temperature, and other properties.
Four laws of thermodynamics:

Zeroth law: Thermal equilibrium (like transitive property)
First law: Conservation of energy
Second law: Energy has both quantity and quality
Third law: Entropy of pure substances is zero at absolute
zero temperatureApproaches of thermodynamics: two approaches
> Statistical approach: is an elaborative approach, based
on the average behavior of large groups of individual
particles.
> Classical approach: is macroscopic approach to the
study of thermodynamics that does not require a
knowledge Study of whole system "Study of tidividual notecule| Pt]C|@S

or a region in space chosen for study. The mass or region
outside the system is called the surroundings. The real or
imaginary surface that separates the system from its
surroundings is called the boundary. A boundary could be
fixed or movable.
Based on whether we chose a fixed mass or a fixed volume
in space for study, there are two types of systems;
> Closed system (control mass): consists of a fixed
amount of mass, and no mass can cross its boundary.
> Open system (control volume): is a properly selected
region in space with both mass and energy can cross
the boundary of a control volume.SURROUNDINGS
BOUNDARYProperties of a system: Any characteristic of a system is
called a property. Some familiar properties are P, T, V, m, u, k,
and i. There are two types of properties based on their
dependence on amount of matter.
> Intensive properties: are those that are independent of
the mass of a system, such as temperature, pressure,
and density.
> Extensive properties: are those whose values depend on
the size or ext tem. E.g. m, V, and total
momentum Extensive properties per unit
mass are called specific
v= VimContinuum: is an idealization to disregard the atomic nature
of a substance and view it as a continuous, homogeneous
matter with no holes. This idealization is valid as long as the
size of the system we deal with is large relative to the space
between the molecules. Otherwise, theories such as rarefied

completely describes the condition of the system. Ata given
state, all the properties of a system have fixed values. If the
value of even one property changes, the state will change to
a diffarant ann
Equilibrium implies a state of balance. In an
equilibrium state there are no unbalanced
potentials (or driving forces) within the system.
Types of equilibrium: Thermal equilibrium;
Mechanical equilibrium; Chemical
(a) State 1 (b) State 2 equilibrium; Phase equilibrium=>
Thermodynamic equilibriumThe State Postulate: The state of a simple compressible
system is completely specified by two independent, intensive
properties.
E.g. T and v, T and P for single phase system
What is a simple compressible system? A system is called
a simple compressible system in the absence of external
force fields like electrical, magnetic, gravitational, motion,
and surface tension effects.
Process and Cycles
Any change that a system undergoes from one equilibrium
state to another is called a process, and the series of states
through which a system passes during a process is called
the path of the process.Property A

(a) Slow compression (b) Very fast compression
(quasi-equilibrium) (nonquasi-equilibrium)+ A quasi-equilibrium process is an idealized process and
is not a true representation of an actual process, but
many actual processes closely approximate it with
negligible error.
+ Why are we interested in such process? i) easy to
analyze, ii) serve as standards to which actual processes
can be compared.
Process diagrams: are used to visualize a process by plotting
thermodynamic properties (T, P. v,h, Ss...) as coordinates.
+ — Anon quasi-equilibrium process is denoted by a dashed
line between the initial and final states instead of a solid
line which is a case for quasi-equilibrium process.Pp

The prefix ‘iso’ is often used to designate a process for which
a particular property remains constant.
+ Isothermal process: is a process during which the
temperature T remains constant
+ lsobaric process: is a process during which the pressure
P remains constant
+ Isochoric (or isometric) process is a process during
which the specific volume v remains constant.
+ Cycle: when system undergoes a process in which it
returns to its initial state at the end of the process (initial
and final states are identical).The Steady-flow process: process during which a fluid
flows through a contro! volume steadily (no change with
time). The opposite of steady flow is unsteady, or transient
flow.

What is temperature? As the classic saying it is “measure of
hotness or coldness”, butis it?? What is even hotness and
coldness mean?
Take metal and wood at 200C and 1atm, which one if
relatively cold? Most definitely our senses would
consider the metal is colder.
From SLT, heat transfers from higher to lower thermal energy
until they reach thermal equilibrium (equal temperature). We
can take this and define temperature as the only measure for
thermal equilibrium.
The Zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two bodies
are in thermal equilibrium with a third body, they are also in+ This serves as a basis for the validity of temperature
measurement. By replacing the third body with a
thermometer, the zeroth law can be restated as two bodies
are in thermal equilibrium if both have the same
temperature reading even if they are not in contact.

+ Temperature measuring methods and devices...Pressure: is defined as a normal force exerted by a fluid per
unit area. The equivalence of pressure in solids is called
normal stress.
There are different units of pressure; Pa, kPa, atm, bar, kgf/
cmz2, ...
The actual pressure at a given position is called the
absolute pressure, and itis measured relative to absolute
vacuum (i.e., absolute zero pressure). Most
pressure-measuring devices, however, are calibrated to
read zero in the atmosphere which is gage pressure
(difference between the absolute pressure and the local
atmospheric pressure).
Pressures below atmospheric pressure are called vacuum
pressures and are measured by vacuum gages that
