Temperature ScalesThermometers can be calibrated by placing them in thermal contact with
an environment that remains at constant temperature– Environment could be mixture of ice and water in thermal
equilibrium– Also commonly used is water and steam in thermal equilibrium
Temperature of an ice-water mixture is defined as 0º CThis is the freezing point of water
Temperature of a water-steam mixture is defined as 100º CThis is the boiling point of water
Distance between these points is divided into 100 segments
Celsius Scale
Kelvin Scale
§ When the pressure of a gas goes to zero, its temperature is –273.15º C§ This temperature is called absolute zero§ This is the zero point of the Kelvin scale (–273.15º C = 0 K)
§ To convert: TC = TK – 273.15
Fahrenheit Scales§ Most common scale used in the US§ Temperature of the freezing point is 32º§ Temperature of the boiling point is 212º§ 180 divisions between the points

Thermal Expansion
• The thermal expansion of an object is a consequence of the change in the average separation between its constituent atoms or molecules
• At ordinary temperatures, molecules vibrate with a small amplitude
• As temperature increases, the amplitude increasesThis causes the overall object as a whole to expand
Rails expand and may buckle on a hot summer day
In most liquids or solids, when temperature risesmolecules have more kinetic energy
they are moving faster, on the averageconsequently, things tend to expand (works for a gas)

Thermal Expansion and Teeth
Crazing:
Thermal expansion matching is important in choosing materials for fillings.

Thermal Expansion and Teeth
Coefficients of linear expansion:
Enamel: 11.4 x 10-6 °CDentin: 8.3 x 10-6 °C
If you quickly switch from eating/drinkingsomething hot to somethingcold, the brittle enamel will contract morethan the dentin, and develop small cracks called crazes.
Example
A copper telephone wire has essentially no sag between poles 35.0 m apart on a winter day when the temperature is –20.0°C. How much longer is the wire on a summer day when TC = 35.0°C? Assume that the thermal coefficient of copper is constant throughout this range at its room temperature value.

Applications of Thermal Expansion
1. Thermostats– Use a bimetallic strip– Two metals expand differently
2. Pyrex Glass– Thermal stresses are smaller than for ordinary glass
3. Train rails– Keeping space between joints for possible expansion and
contraction
Ideal Gas• Properties of gases
o A gas does not have a fixed volume or pressureo In a container, the gas expands to fill the container
• Ideal gas:o Collection of atoms or molecules that move randomlyo Molecules exert no long-range force on one anothero Molecules occupy a negligible fraction of the volume of their container
• Most gases at room temperature and pressure behave approximately as an ideal gas
Molesv It’s convenient to express the amount of gas in a given volume in terms of the
number of moles, n
v One mole is the amount of the substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12

Avogadro’s Hypothesis
§ Equal volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contain the same numbers of molecules– Consequences: At standard temperature and pressure, one
mole quantities of all gases contain the same number of molecules
– This number is called Avogadro’s Number (NA =6.02 x 1023 particles / mole)
– Can also look at the total number of particles: N = n NA
The mass of an individual atom can be calculated as follows:

Internal Energy vs. Heat
v Internal Energy, U, is the energy associated with the microscopic components of the system– Includes kinetic and potential energy associated with the random
translational, rotational and vibrational motion of the atoms or molecules
– Also includes the intermolecular potential energy
v Heat is energy transferred between a system and its environment because of a temperature difference between them– The system Q is used to represent the amount of energy transferred
by heat between a system and its environment

Units of Heatv Calorie
– An historical unit, before the connection between thermodynamics and mechanics was recognized
– A calorie is the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature of 1 g of water from 14.5° C to 15.5° C .• A Calorie (food calorie) is 1000 cal
1 cal = 4.186 J– This is called the Mechanical Equivalent of Heat
v BTU (US Customary Unit)– BTU stands for British Thermal Unit– A BTU is the amount of energy necessary to raise the temperature
of 1 lb of water from 63° F to 64° F
UnitsUnitsSISI Joule (J)Joule (J)CGSCGS Calorie (cal)Calorie (cal)
Specific Heatv Every substance requires a unique amount of energy per
unit mass to change the temperature of that substance by 1° C– directly proportional to mass (thus, per unit mass)
v The specific heat, c, of a substance is a measure of this amount

Thus, energy is flowing into the system!
Calorimeter§ A technique for determining the specific heat of a
substance is called calorimetry § A calorimeter is a vessel that is a good insulator that allows
a thermal equilibrium to be achieved between substances without any energy loss to the environment
CalorimetryAnalysis performed using a calorimeterConservation of energy applies to the isolated systemThe energy that leaves the warmer substance equals the
energy that enters the waterQcold = -Qhot

Methods of Heat Transfer
vMethods includeØConductionØConvectionØRadiation
1. ConductionThe transfer can be viewed on an atomic scale
It is an exchange of energy between microscopic particles by collisions
Less energetic particles gain energy during collisions from more energetic particles
Rate of conduction depends upon the characteristics of the substance
12/22/2011
17
Conduction example
§ The molecules vibrate about their equilibrium positions
§ Particles near the flame vibrate with larger amplitudes
§ These collide with adjacent molecules and transfer some energy
§ Eventually, the energy travels entirely through the rod
Conduction can occur only if there is a difference in temperature between two parts of the conducting medium
Conduction§ The slab allows energy to
transfer from the region of higher temperature to the region of lower temperature

• A is the cross-sectional area• L = Δx is the thickness of the slab or the
length of a rod• P is in Watts when Q is in Joules and t is in
seconds• k is the thermal conductivity of the material

2. ConvectionvEnergy transferred by the
movement of a substance• When the movement
results from differences in density, it is called natural conduction
• When the movement is forced by a fan or a pump, it is called forced convection
12/22/2011
19
Convection example§ Air directly above the
flame is warmed and expands
§ The density of the air decreases, and it rises
§ The mass of air warms the hand as it moves by
§ Applications:§ Radiators§ Cooling automobile
engines
3. Radiation
vRadiation does not require physical contactvAll objects radiate energy continuously in
the form of electromagnetic waves due to thermal vibrations of the moleculesvRate of radiation is given by Stefan’s Law
12/22/2011
20
Radiation example
• The electromagnetic waves carry the energy from the fire to the hands
• No physical contact is necessary
Radiation equation
P = σAeT4
– P is the rate of energy transfer, in Watts– σ = 5.6696 x 10-8 W/m2 K4
– A is the surface area of the object– e is a constant called the emissivity
• e varies from 0 to 1– T is the temperature in Kelvins
12/22/2011
21
Energy Absorption and Emission by Radiation
• With its surroundings, the rate at which the object at temperature T with surroundings at To radiates is
Pnet = σAe(T4 – T4o)
• When an object is in equilibrium with its surroundings, it radiates and absorbs at the same rate• Its temperature will not change
Example: Determine solar energy over the area of 1 m2. Temperature of Sun’s surface is 6000 K and temperature of surroundings is 300 K.
Given:
Area: A= 1 m2
Temperatures: T1=6000 KT2=300 K

Ideal Absorbers and Reflectors
An ideal absorber is defined as an object that absorbs all of the energy incident on it
e = 1 This type of object is called a black body
An ideal absorber is also an ideal radiator of energy An ideal reflector absorbs none of the energy
incident on ite = 0
Applications of Radiation
Ø Clothing• Black fabric acts as a good absorber• White fabric is a better reflector
Ø Thermography• The amount of energy radiated by an object can be
measured with a thermographØ Body temperature

vState of a system– Description of the system in terms of state
variables• Pressure• Volume• Temperature• Internal Energy
– A macroscopic state of an isolated system can be specified only if the system is in internal thermal equilibrium

Work
§ Work is an important energy transfer mechanism in thermodynamic systems
§ Heat is another energy transfer mechanism
Ø Example: gas cylinder with pistono The gas is contained in a cylinder with a
moveable pistono The gas occupies a volume V and exerts
pressure P on the walls of the cylinder and on the piston
§ A force is applied to slowly compress the gas§ The compression is
slow enough for all the system to remain essentially in thermal equilibriumW = - P ΔV
§ This is the work done on the gas
12/22/2011
25
Work on a Gas Cylinder
ØWhen the gas is compressedΔV is negative The work done on the gas is positive
ØWhen the gas is allowed to expandΔV is positiveThe work done on the gas is negative
ØWhen the volume remains constantNo work is done on the gas
W = W = -- P ΔVP ΔV
Notes about the Work Equation
If the pressure remains constant during the expansion or compression, the process is called an isobaric process
If the pressure changes, the average pressure may be used to estimate the work done
W = W = -- P ΔVP ΔV
Work done on the gas

Processes for Transferring Energy
vBy doing work– Requires a macroscopic displacement of the point of
application of a forcevBy heat
– Occurs by random molecular collisionsvResults of both
– Change in internal energy of the system– Generally accompanied by measurable macroscopic
variables• Pressure• Temperature• Volume
First Law of Thermodynamics
v Consider energy conservation in thermal processes. Must include:– Q (Heat)
Positive if energy is transferred to the system– W (Work)
Positive if done on the system– U(Internal energy )
• Positive if the temperature increases
The relationship among U, W, and Q can be expressed as
ΔU = Uf – Ui = Q + WThis means that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the energy transferred across the system boundary by heat and the energy transferred by work

The First Law and Human Metabolism
vThe First Law can be applied to living organismsvThe internal energy stored in humans goes into
other forms needed by the organs and into work and heat
vThe metabolic rate (ΔU / ΔT) is directly proportional to the rate of oxygen consumption by volume
Basal metabolic rate (to maintain and run organs, etc.) is about 80 W
