"dynamics": Greek

powerful
Physics that deals with the mechanical
action or relations between
heat and
work
Example 1:
Heat to work
Heat
Q from flame provides energy
to do work
--------------------------------------------------------

Example 2: Work to heat.
Work done by person is converted
to heat energy via friction.

Thermal EquilibriumThermal Equilibrium
Systems (or objects) are said to be in thermal Systems (or objects) are said to be in thermal
equilibrium if there is no equilibrium if there is no net net flow of thermal energy flow of thermal energy
from one to the other. A thermometer is in thermal from one to the other. A thermometer is in thermal
equilibrium with the medium whose temperature it equilibrium with the medium whose temperature it
measures, for example. measures, for example.
If two objects are in thermal equilibrium, they are at If two objects are in thermal equilibrium, they are at
the same temperature.the same temperature.

W is positive if work is
done by system.
Air does work on the
environment:
W > 0.
W is negative if work is done
on
the
system.
Environment (man) does work on
system:
W < 0
(Alternative: system does negative
work because force by air pressure
on thumb is opposite to the direction
of motion of the thumb.)
INTERNAL ENERGY (U or E)INTERNAL ENERGY (U or E)

molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the
potential energy associated with the vibrational and potential energy associated with the vibrational and
electric energy of atoms within molecules or crystals. electric energy of atoms within molecules or crystals.

Example:
1000 J of thermal energy
flows into a system (Q = 1000 J).
At the same time, 400 J of work is
done by the system (W = 400 J).
What is the change in the system's
internal energy U?
----------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
U = Q - W
=
1000 J - 400 J
= 600 J
Example:
800 J of work is done on a
system (W = -800 J) as 500 J of
thermal energy is removed from the
system (Q = -500 J).
What is the change in the system's
internal energy U?
-----------------------------------------------------
Solution:
U = Q - W
=
-500 J - (-800 J)
=
-500 J + 800 J
= 300 J

Press thick rubber band to

it rapidly.
The warming

Now allow the band to
contract quickly;
cooling will also be evident.

Since ΔV = 0, W = 0 then U = Q - W = Q

Second Law of Thermodynamics
Heat flows naturally from a
region at high temperature to
a region at low temperature.
By itself, heat will not flow
from a cold to a hot body.
When an isolated system
undergoes a change, passing
from one state to another, it
will do so in such a way that
its entropy (disorder) will
increase, or at best remain the
same.
