我的竺院寄语 • 今日的大学课堂内外正在发生颠覆性的变革。知识的获得变得平庸,上课时学生就可以通过无线网络搜索直接满足跳跃性思维的需求,课后更可以自由地去探索去加强和补充课堂的教学内容。课上和课下的界限即将消除,学习和研究的差别正在缩小,教师和学生的位置也开始模糊。重要的不是学过了什么,而是学到了什么,是 从只会做功课的孩子成长为会思考的人。
A Macroscopic Review • For any process • For reversible process • For irreversible process • This limits the maximum work we can extract from a certain process. (1st law)
Application 1: Available Work • In a thermally isolated system at a constant T • |W| = DF is the minimum amount of work to increase the free energy of a system by DF, at a constant T. The 2nd law
More Available Work • Since PDV is free at a constant P • |Wother| = DG is the minimum amount of other work (chemical, electrical, etc.) needed to increase the Gibbs free energy of a system by DG, at a constant T and a constant P. previously
0 Electrolysis
Electrolysis • The amount of heat (at room temperature and atmosphere) you would get out if you burned a mole of hydrogen (inverse reaction) enthalpy
Electrolysis • The maximum amount of heat that can enter the system • The minimum “other” work required to make the reaction go
PDV = 4 kJ(pushing atmosphere away) DU = 282 kJ DG = 237 kJ(electrical work) TDS = 49 kJ(heat) System Electrolysis At room temperature & atmospheric pressure
Fuel Cell (Reverse Process) At – electrode: At + electrode: PDV = -4 kJ At room temperature & atmospheric pressure DU = -282 kJ DG = -237 kJ(electrical work) TDS = -49 kJ(heat) System
Fuel Cell (Reverse Process) At – electrode: At + electrode: Maximum electrical work produced: 237 kJ benefit (DG) Efficiency (ideal) cost (DH)
Fuel Cell (Reverse Process) At – electrode: At + electrode: Two electrons per mole of H2O Voltage (ideal) practically, 0.6-0.9 Volt
Geometrical Interpretation • Surface U = U(S, V) (1st law) Mixed second derivative
App. 2: Thermodynamic Identities • Consider an arbitrary gas with equation of state p = p(T,V).
Introducing Free Energy • Introduce free energyF = U - TS Maxwell relation
Van der Waals Gas • Equation of state attractive
Van der Waals Isotherms Density fluctuation very large!
Application 3: Phase Boundaries carbon dioxide Supercritical fluid: It can effuse through solids like a gas, and dissolve materials like a liquid.
Superfluid Helium Can Climb Walls He-II (superfluid) will creep along surfaces in order to reach an equal level.
P dP T dT Clausius-Clapeyron Relation • Along the phase boundary, the Gibbs free energies in the two phases must equal to each other. Latent heat:L = T(Sg – Sl) Volume difference:DV = Vg – Vl or
P dP T dT Clausius-Clapeyron Relation • Along the liquid-gas phase boundary • Along the solid-liquid boundary Why? normally for ice
A Microscopic Review • Boltzmann’s formula • Suppose we are interested in one particular molecule in an isolated gas. • The total number of the microstates (with the known molecule state r & v) is related to the possible states of the rest of the molecules.
A Microscopic Review • Thermodynamic identity • Total energy is conserved. 0
A Microscopic Review • Thermodynamic identity • Total energy is conserved. 0 Boltzmann factor
A Microscopic Review • Partition function • Normalized distribution
App. 4: Maxwell Speed Distribution • For a given speed, there are many possible velocity vectors.
App. 5: Vibration of Diatomic Molecules • The allowed energies are E(n) = (n + 1/2) e. 1/kBT
One More Mystery Q'h > 0 after a cycle Q'c < 0 The total entropy of an isolated system that undergoes a change can never decrease.
Force toward Equilibrium • With fixed T, V, and N, an increase in the total entropy of the universe is the same as a decrease in the (Helmholtz) free energy of the system. • At constant temperature and volume, F tends to decrease (no particles enter or leave the system). • The total entropy (system + environment) increases. -dU T
App. 6: Why Different Phases? • At low T, the system tends to lower the energy, forming ordered state. • At high T, the system tends to increase the entropy, forming disordered state. tends to decrease energy entropy
Phase Transition: Order vs Disorder T decreases from top panel to bottom panel
