2. PHY 231 2 Convection T high  low

3. PHY 231 3 Radiation Nearly all objects emit energy through radiation: P=  AeT 4 : Stefan’s law (J/s)  =5.6696x10 -8 W/m 2 K 4 A: surface area e: object dependent constant emissivity (0-1) T: temperature (K) P: energy radiated per second. If an object is at Temperature T and its surroundings are at T 0, then the net energy gained/lost is: P=  Ae(T-T o ) 4

4. PHY 231 4 emissivity Ideal reflector e=0 no energy is absorbed Ideal absorber (black body) e=1 all energy is absorbed also ideal radiator!

5. PHY 231 5 A BBQ The coals in a BBQ cover an area of 0.25m 2. If the emissivity of the burning coal is 0.95 and their temperature 500 0 C, how much energy is radiated every minute?

6. PHY 231 6 Thermodynamics (chapter 12) Piston is moved downward slowly so that the gas remains in thermal equilibrium: The temperature is the the same at all times in the gas, but can change as a whole. v in v out V out >V in Work is done on the gas

7. PHY 231 7 Isobaric compression Let’s assume that the pressure does not change while lowering the piston (isobaric compression). W=-F  y=-PA  y (P=F/A) W=-P  V=-P(V f -V i ) (in Joule) W: work done on the gas + if  V<0 - if  V>0 This corresponds to the area under the curve in a P-V diagram

8. PHY 231 8 Non-isobaric compression In general, the pressure can change when lowering the piston. The work done on the gas when going from an initial state (i) to a final state (f) is the area under the P-V diagram. The work done by the gas is the opposite of the work done on the gas.

9. PHY 231 9 question v P v P v P In which case is the work done on the gas largest? A B C The area under the curves in cases B and C is largest (I.e. the absolute amount of work is largest). In case C, the volume becomes larger and the pressure lower (the piston is moved up) so work is done by the gas (work done on the gas is negative). In case B the work done on the gas is positive, and thus largest.

10. PHY 231 10 Isovolumetric process v P Work done on/by gas: W=-P  V=0

11. PHY 231 11 First Law of Thermodynamics By performing work on an object the internal energy can be changed By transferring heat to an object the internal energy can be changed The change in internal energy depends on the work done on the object and the amount of heat transferred to the object. Remember: the internal energy is the energy associated with translational, rotational, vibrational motion of atoms and potential energy Think about deformation/pressure Think about heat transfer

12. PHY 231 12 First Law of thermodynamics  U=U f -U i =Q+W  U=change in internal energy Q=energy transfer through heat (+ if heat is transferred to the system) W=energy transfer through work (+ if work is done on the system)

13. PHY 231 13 First law: examples 1) isobaric process A gas in a cylinder is kept at 1.0x10 5 Pa. The cylinder is brought in contact with a cold reservoir and 500 J of heat is extracted. Meanwhile the piston has sunk and the volume changed by 100cm 3. What is the change in internal energy?

14. PHY 231 14 First Law: examples: 2) Adiabatic process A piston is pushed down rapidly. Because the transfer of heat through the walls takes a long time, no heat can escape. During the moving of the piston, the temperature has risen 100 0 C. If the container contained 10 mol of an ideal gas, how much work has been done during the compression?

15. PHY 231 15 First Law: examples 3) general case V(m 3 ) P(x10 5 Pa) 1 4 3 6 In ideal gas is compressed (see P-V diagram). A) What is the change in internal energy b) What is the work done on the gas? C) How much heat has been transferred to the gas? i f

16. PHY 231 16 Types of processes A: Isovolumetric  V=0 B: Adiabatic Q=0 C: Isothermal  T=0 D: Isobaric  P=0 PV/T=constant

17. PHY 231 17 Metabolism  U=Q+W Change in internal energy: Must be increased: Food! Heat transfer: Negative body temperature < room temperature Work done (negative)

18. PHY 231 18 Metabolic rate  U = Q + W tt tt tt Metabolic rate: rate in which food and oxygen are transformed into internal energy (to balance losses due to heat loss and work done). |W/  t| Body’s efficiency: |  U/  t|
